XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Skoda KODIAQ 4WD φ55 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The Kodiaq’s factory answer to body control is DCC adaptive damping, and any owner who has pushed a fully loaded 4WD SUV into a fast bend knows where that system’s limits sit: a soft primary ride bought at the cost of roll and dive under real load. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover for the Skoda Kodiaq 4WD comes with the cancellation kit needed to remove the electronic damping control entirely, replacing it with a fixed mechanical platform built for occasional track days without giving up a car you can still drive to the school run on Monday.

Where the standard Kodiaq leans hard on its springs to manage nearly two tonnes of SUV, Top Sport raises spring rate and damping force together, so the chassis resists the pitch and squat that comes with a high seating position and a long wheelbase. It’s the right spec for a Kodiaq that sees a handful of track days a year alongside daily duty, not a car built purely for one lap time.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Skoda Kodiaq

Fit this kit to a 2016-2026 Kodiaq 4WD and the first thing you’ll notice is how much less the nose dips under braking and how much less the tail squats under power out of a bend, both jobs the factory DCC dampers were never stiff enough to fully arrest on a car this size. The cancellation kit removes the electronic damping control from the loop, so damping force stays exactly where you set it rather than softening under the ECU’s comfort bias. Firmer spring rates cut the body roll that comes with the Kodiaq’s raised ride height, keeping the outside tyre loaded evenly through direction changes instead of letting weight pile onto the sidewall. Height adjustment lets you correct the ride height the extra spring rate would otherwise raise, keeping the centre of gravity down without resorting to smaller wheels. For a 4WD platform sending power to all four corners, that flatter, more settled body means the drivetrain can actually use the traction on offer instead of fighting roll-induced camber loss.

About the Top Sport coilover

XYZ Racing builds Top Sport around a 30 to 50 percent increase in damping force over a street-tuned setup, paired with roughly 2kg/mm more spring rate, specifically so the kit can absorb a hard hit from a pothole or kerb without the body continuing to move after the wheel has already recovered. That extra control comes from settings XYZ Racing carried over from its own Top Sport racing programme, tuned to stop the chassis continuing to pitch, squat or roll after the initial input rather than simply stiffening the ride. The result is a kit that soaks up a heavy compression event, keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded rather than skipping across it, and settles the body quickly enough to hold a line into the next input. XYZ Racing positions Top Sport for track day use and aggressive road driving rather than outright competition, which is why it retains enough compliance to stay usable outside the circuit.

Fitment for the Skoda Kodiaq (2016-2026)

This kit is built for the 4WD Kodiaq under chassis code SK25-C for the 2016 to 2026 model years, and includes the cancellation kit required on cars fitted with the factory’s electronic adaptive damping system. Confirm your Kodiaq is the 4WD variant with DCC before ordering, since the cancellation hardware is specific to that electronic setup.
