XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Nissan MAXIMA A35 2008-2014

The Nissan Maxima A35 was always a genuinely interesting proposition: a front-wheel-drive sports saloon routing the VQ35DE’s considerable output through the steering axle on a kerb weight nudging 1,600 kg. Nissan sold it as the "4 Door Sports Car" and meant it – but the factory suspension was calibrated for American-market comfort, leaving real composure gains on the table.

Fitting coilovers to the A35 addresses the central tension in the platform’s design. The nose is heavy, the front tyres do everything – steer, drive, brake – and the stock spring rates let the body load up through fast corners in a way that makes the front axle work harder than it needs to. Reduce body roll, bring the centre of gravity down, and the Maxima begins to respond with the directness its drivetrain always promised.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Nissan Maxima A35

The Street Advanced’s 720-step damping range gives genuine latitude to move between road-biased softness for daily use and tighter settings for track day sessions on the same hardware. Controlling the lateral body flex that loads the outer front tyre in fast corners is critical on FWD platforms of this weight; with that flex reduced, the VQ’s torque delivery follows steering inputs more cleanly and mid-corner adjustability improves meaningfully. Height adjustment through the coilover body itself – not just the spring perch – lets you lower the A35 without upsetting the geometry the multi-link rear was designed around. For a front-heavy sports saloon, that consistency matters more than it does on lighter, rear-driven alternatives.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most widely specified coilover, refined over several years by the company’s professional engineering team and validated through track use at events worldwide before reaching its current state. It covers both normal road use and track day sessions – not a competition-only design, but one with sufficient adjustment range to span both on the same hardware. The headline figure is 720 damping settings, which provides enough steps to tune around varied road surfaces, tyre compounds, and driving styles. The track testing background informs the construction: sustained use across a season, alternating between A-roads and circuit aprons, is precisely what the Street Advanced was developed to handle.

Fitment for the Nissan MAXIMA A35 (2008-2014)

This kit covers the Nissan Maxima A35, the seventh generation of the nameplate, produced between 2008 and 2014. The A35 chassis code spans the full run of this generation in its front-wheel-drive 3.5-litre V6 configuration. Confirm your build date falls within the 2008-2014 window – later Maxima production moved to the A36 platform, which requires a different fitment.
