XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Mazda PREMACY 1998-2003

The Mazda Premacy is a tall, family-shaped compact MPV riding on a Familia-derived front-drive platform, and the standard suspension was set up for school-run comfort rather than body control. That softness is exactly what owners hitting the aftermarket want to address – sharper turn-in, less roll on motorway slip roads, and a stance that finally suits the bodywork. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is built around that brief for the 1998-2003 MA28-generation Premacy.

Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s circuit-leaning kit: stiffer base spring rates, height-adjustable lower mounts, and damping that’s meant to be set up for the way you actually drive. On a Premacy, that means reining in the high centre of gravity without turning the car into something you can’t live with on a B-road.

What this coilover does for your 1998-2003 Mazda Premacy

Drop the ride height to remove the wheel-arch gap and the Premacy immediately starts to behave less like an MPV and more like the Familia hot hatch it shares a platform with. Body roll through long sweepers tightens up, the nose stops diving into junctions, and the front axle finally gets enough weight on it under brakes for the front tyres to bite. The adjustable damping lets you settle the rear over poor surfaces – important on a tall car where the unloaded rear can skip on broken tarmac. Spring preload and ride height are independent of damping, so corner-weighting and stance are a separate job from how the car rides. The result is a Premacy that feels planted at motorway speeds and noticeably more composed on a tight A-road.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport is a full-bodied monotube coilover with 30-step damping adjustment, allowing the damper curve to be tuned independently of the spring. Pillowball upper mounts on the front replace the rubber OE top mount for sharper steering response and tighter camber location, while the rear retains an OE-style mount layout to suit the Premacy’s torsion-beam architecture. Ride height adjusts at the lower bracket, so you can drop the car without losing damper stroke – a key detail on a softly-sprung MPV where shortening travel is what kills the OE setup. Spring rates are pitched at the road-and-occasional-track end of XYZ’s range rather than full-circuit, which is the right call for a Premacy that still needs to do family duties Monday to Friday.
