Peugeot 301 2012-2026 — Coilovers

The Peugeot 301 was built soft. PSA tuned its PF1-derived chassis for broken tarmac and long motorway hauls in markets where ride comfort mattered more than body control, which leaves the standard car leaning hard on its outer front tyre the moment you ask it to corner with intent. This XYZ Racing coilover range for the 2012-2026 Peugeot 301 (PE22) swaps that compromise for height-adjustable, damper-adjustable struts that let you set the car up the way the factory never would.

Because the 301 is a nose-heavy front-wheel-drive saloon riding on a twist-beam rear axle, the gains here are about controlling weight transfer: keeping the front planted under braking and the rear settled through the corner. The range runs to six builds, from the fast-road Super Sport to the circuit-focused Circuit Master, so the spec follows how you actually use the car rather than forcing one tune onto every owner.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2026 Peugeot 301

Drop the 301 onto a corner-balanced ride height and the first thing you notice is the body staying flat through a roundabout that used to pitch it onto its door handles. Adjustable damping lets you firm up the rebound the soft OE setup leaves wallowing, so the nose stops diving under braking and the twist-beam rear stops skipping over mid-corner bumps. On a front-driver this counts most at turn-in: a lower, stiffer front end sharpens steering response and trims the understeer the 301 carries from standard. Set it tall and soft for daily broken-road use, or low and tight for a track day, and one kit covers both ends of that brief.

About the coilover range

Every build here is a full coilover – spring and damper as one height-adjustable unit – rather than a lowering spring dropped onto a tired OE strut. Ride height adjusts independently of damper stroke, so you keep usable suspension travel instead of crashing through what little a comfort strut had left. Super Sport and Top Sport target fast-road and occasional track use, leaning on damping adjustment to balance compliance against control. Racing Spec and Circuit Master raise spring rates and tighten the tune for sustained circuit running, where the bodyshell needs to be tied down hard. Tarmac Rally suits rough sealed-stage work, while Drift Spec biases toward steering angle and rear control.
