XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Renault CLIO MK4 RS 2012-2018

The Clio MK4 RS carries its power through a chassis that was tuned for front-end bite over ride comfort, and on UK B-roads that trade-off shows up fast as harshness through the bulkhead. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit is built to take that edge off without dulling the Clio’s turn-in, giving you a platform that works equally well on the commute and on a trackday Tuesday.

This is the fast-road and weekend track spec in the XYZ Racing range – stiffer and more adjustable than a standard replacement damper, but not so track-focused that it beats you up on the drive home. For an RS that’s still doing daily duty alongside occasional circuit work, it’s the version built for that split.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2018 Renault CLIO MK4 RS

Installed on the MK4 RS, the Super Sport kit’s 36-way damping adjustment lets you retune the front end’s response independently of the rear, which matters on a chassis where trail-braking into a corner can unsettle the back axle if the rates aren’t matched. Dial in a firmer setting for a track session and you’ll feel less dive under the RS’s aggressive brake bias; back it off for the M62 and the ride softens without the vague, wallowy feel a cheaper coilover leaves behind. Ride height adjustment brings the option to correct the Clio’s factory stance and camber curve, useful if you’re running wider wheels or lower-offset rubber. Because the damping range spans genuinely soft to genuinely firm, you’re not locked into a single-purpose setup – the same car can go from supermarket run to sprint circuit with a five-minute adjustment rather than a change of parts.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is built around the same 36-way adjustment principle that runs through XYZ Racing’s range, giving you fine control over compression and rebound rather than the two or three coarse settings you get on a basic adjustable strut. Ride height is independently adjustable too, so geometry correction doesn’t have to come at the cost of your preferred spring preload. The construction is aimed squarely at absorbing the harshness that rough UK Tarmac transmits through a lowered, stiffened chassis – XYZ’s stated goal with this damper is cutting out the discomfort that comes from bumps and rough surfaces without giving up control. That’s the balance the Super Sport is pitched at: firm enough for a track day, liveable enough that you’re not dreading the drive there. It’s positioned as XYZ’s dual-purpose damper, built to be reset for whatever the car is doing that weekend rather than dedicated to one use case.

Fitment for the Renault CLIO MK4 RS (2012-2018)

This kit is specced for the Clio MK4 RS chassis built between 2012 and 2018, covering the hot-hatch RS variant rather than the standard Clio IV. Confirm your car sits within that production window before ordering, as suspension geometry and mounting points on the RS differ from the lower-output trims of the same generation.
