XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan MAXIMA A31 (OE Rear WISHBONE) 1989-1994

The A31-generation Maxima rides on the same RWD platform and wishbone-based rear end that underpins Nissan’s C33 Laurel and R32 Skyline, a lineage that gives this early-nineties saloon more inherent chassis balance than most of its badge-mates from the era. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit for the Nissan Maxima A31 (OE Rr Wishbone), covering cars built between 1989 and 1994, is built to bring that balance forward for fast-road driving and weekend track use without turning a genuine daily driver into a car you dread on a B-road.

Where the factory dampers on a 30-plus-year-old Maxima have long since gone soft, this kit gives the A31 back the body control it needs to use its rear wishbone geometry properly. It’s a full coilover conversion, not a spring-only fix, so ride height and damping are both back under the driver’s control rather than left to whatever the last owner fitted.

What this coilover kit does for your 1989-1994 Nissan Maxima A31

On the road, the immediate change is how the A31’s nose settles under braking and how the rear wishbones load up through direction changes instead of wallowing. The 36-way damping adjustment means you can run the front end firm enough to control dive into a corner while still leaving enough compliance at the rear to keep the tyres in contact on broken Tarmac, rather than picking one compromise setting and living with it everywhere. Ride height is independently adjustable too, so you can drop the Maxima’s stance to cut body roll for a trackday without dragging the sump on a speed bump the next morning. Bump and rough-road harshness that the OE dampers were never built to cope with after this many years is noticeably reduced, which matters on a car this is likely still being used daily as well as for occasional circuit sessions.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the fast-road and weekend-track option, and its construction reflects that brief. Each damper carries 36 stages of damping adjustment, giving a wide enough spread to move from a comfort-biased road setting to a firmer track setup without swapping components. Ride height adjustment is built into the design as standard, letting owners set stance and corner weights independently of spring preload. XYZ Racing positions the Super Sport as suitable for both weekend competition use and everyday driving, which is the balance this kit is engineered around rather than a track-only damper detuned for the road.
