XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan ALTIMA U13 4WD 1993-1997

The U13-generation Altima’s Attesa 4WD layout puts torque through all four corners, which means the rear end doesn’t just follow the front through a corner – it’s doing its own share of the work, and the standard-issue dampers were never built to keep that split-duty chassis settled once you start pushing on it. XYZ Racing Super Sport coilovers replace that soft factory setup with a monotube damper built for fast-road and weekend track use, giving the U13 the height and rebound control its 4WD platform needs to put power down cleanly out of a corner.

This is a coilover for owners who drive their U13 hard on a Sunday and still want it civil on the commute in. It isn’t a full race setup, and it doesn’t need to be – the 36-way adjustment range covers everything from a comfortable daily ride to a stiffened trackday base without swapping parts.

What this coilover does for your 1993-1997 Nissan Altima

Lowering the ride height on the U13 tightens up body roll through direction changes, which matters more on a 4WD chassis than a 2WD one because the extra driveline mass at the rear needs firmer control to stop the car wallowing under load transfer. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you soften the compression side for broken B-road surfaces, then wind it back up for a track session where you want the front and rear working together rather than independently. Height adjustability also means you can correct the nose-up stance the Attesa 4WD hardware tends to leave behind once the factory springs sag, putting the corner weights back where Nissan’s engineers intended. Ride quality on rough Tarmac improves too – the factory dampers on a 30-year-old Altima are long past their design life, and a fresh monotube unit removes the crash and float that comes with worn oil seals. For a car this old and this rare in 4WD form, dialling the setup to your own roads rather than a factory average is the real gain here.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper, built to take out the discomfort that comes with worn or overly soft factory suspension on rough Tarmac. The monotube damper carries independent ride height adjustment, so you can set the car’s stance without touching spring preload or compromising damper stroke. Damping itself runs across 36 distinct settings, wide enough to cover a genuinely different feel between a motorway cruise and a trackday morning without the compromises a fixed-rate setup forces on you. XYZ Racing positions Super Sport specifically as a dual-purpose unit – suitable for weekend racing and equally happy as daily-driver equipment, rather than a stripped-out track-only product that punishes you on the way there. The construction is built around the reality that most owners running this spec want one set of coilovers to do both jobs, not a compromise part that does neither well. For the U13’s 4WD platform, that flexibility matters more than on a simpler 2WD car, since the extra unsprung mass at the rear needs a broader adjustment window to stay balanced across different loads and surfaces.
