XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mazda PREMACY 1998-2003

The first-generation Mazda Premacy was a tall, MPV-bodied compact built on a sensible front-drive platform, and that body shape is exactly where the standard suspension runs out of ideas. Roll on turn-in, vague mid-corner attitude, and a ride that bobs over poor UK B-road surfaces are the three complaints that follow these cars around. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Mazda Premacy MA28 chassis is built for owners who want to flatten that body, tighten the steering response, and lower the car visually without turning a five-seat family wagon into something undriveable on the school run.

This is the road-biased entry into the XYZ ladder, and it suits the Premacy’s brief well. You get height adjustment, damping you can tune by hand, and a spring rate chosen to control the Premacy’s higher centre of gravity rather than to chase outright lap time.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2003 Mazda Premacy

Drop the ride height and the first thing the Premacy gains is a far flatter cornering attitude – the high body finally stops leaning on its outside tyre mid-bend, which sharpens steering feel and reduces the lazy understeer the standard car defaults to. The 30-way damping adjuster lets you set the front softer for ride compliance over scarred British tarmac, then firm the rear to kill the wallow that the long wheelbase amplifies under load. Spring rates are pitched for road use, so the car keeps a usable bump absorption window over expansion joints and patched B-roads. Pillowball top mounts at the front bring the steering response forward and remove the vague on-centre dead zone that rubber bushings introduce. Independent ride-height and spring-preload adjustment means you can corner-weight the car without losing damper stroke, which matters on an MPV that’s nose-heavy with a 1.8 or 2.0 petrol up front.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper, sitting below the Super Sport and Circuit Master in the company’s range. It’s a monotube design with a 30-position damping adjuster that controls bump and rebound together on a single dial – easier to live with than separately adjustable systems when most of the tuning happens in a driveway rather than a pit garage. Springs are linear-rate and chosen to keep the car compliant over real-world surfaces while still resisting roll under cornering load. Ride height is set independently of spring preload, so lowering the car doesn’t pre-load the spring or cost you damper travel. The strut bodies are built from corrosion-resistant materials with internal seals rated for daily UK weather, and the front assemblies use a pillowball upper mount to firm up steering precision while the rears retain a rubber-isolated top for comfort.
