XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Nissan PRESIDENT (TYPE1) 1990-2002

The TYPE1 President’s factory suspension was tuned for chauffeur-smooth cruising, not for holding a two-tonne, V8-powered flagship saloon flat through a roundabout or a fast A-road sweeper. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit for the Nissan President (1990-2002) replaces that soft factory setup with a fully height- and damping-adjustable system built specifically around this chassis. It is aimed at fast-road driving and the occasional weekend track outing, where a car this size needs genuine body control rather than more comfort.

Every corner is height-adjustable independently of the spring, so you can drop the President’s stance for the VIP look this platform is known for, or hold a taller, more usable ride height for daily driving – without touching the damping. Because the damping is separately adjustable too, the same kit that tames a track day morning can be softened back for the drive home.

What this coilover does for your 1990-2002 Nissan President

Fitted to a 1990-2002 Nissan President, this coilover kit’s 36-way damping adjustment lets you set compression and rebound to match the President’s kerb weight rather than fight it – firmer settings check the nose-dive under braking that a V8 flagship saloon this heavy is prone to, while softer settings keep the ride liveable on the motorway. Independent ride height adjustment means you can lower the car for a planted, VIP-style stance without sacrificing suspension travel, so the President stops wallowing over mid-corner bumps and through compressions. Turn-in response sharpens noticeably, because the factory dampers on a car this age have typically softened well beyond their original tune, and a fresh, adjustable unit restores the body control the chassis lost years ago. The net result is a President that changes direction with more confidence and settles faster after a bump, instead of the vague, floaty feel the standard suspension gives at this mileage.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport line was designed around a specific complaint from owners of older, heavier saloons: a set-up firm enough for spirited driving usually beats the car up on rough tarmac and speed bumps. The Super Sport damper gets around that trade-off with 36 stages of damping adjustment, giving enough range to move from a comfortable daily setting to a noticeably firmer one for a track day or a fast B-road drive, without swapping parts. Ride height is independently adjustable at each corner, so the President’s stance can be set to suit the wheels and arches you’re running, rather than being fixed wherever the spring happens to settle. The damper and spring are assembled as a single height-adjustable unit rather than a separate strut-and-spring arrangement, which is what makes the ride height changes possible without altering spring preload. It’s built as a dual-purpose kit: comfortable enough to live with on a daily-driven President, but with enough adjustment range to be firmed up properly for a weekend on track or a demanding road.
