XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E SEDAN φ55 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) 2013-2019

The 5E Octavia’s multi-link rear axle is the reason this generation rides better than the torsion-beam cars it’s related to under the skin, but the factory dampers are tuned for comfort at the expense of body control once you start covering ground quickly. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit replaces both ends with a height-adjustable monotube setup and gives you 36 stages of damping adjustment, so you can wind out the harshness that comes with lowering a factory-sprung car and still have a setting that suits a B-road on a Sunday.

For fast-road driving and the odd weekend track session, this is the kit built for that in-between owner – the Octavia driver who wants the nose to settle under braking and the rear multi-link geometry kept in check through direction changes, without turning the car into a static show build.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

Dropping the ride height on the 5E immediately lowers the centre of gravity, and with the Super Sport’s damper adjustment you’re not stuck with the trade-off that usually brings – the 36-way control lets you firm up compression and rebound to manage the extra load through the rear multi-link arms without the car crashing over expansion joints. Ride height is independently adjustable front and rear, so you can correct the rake that comes from lowering a car with more weight over the front axle and keep the platform level. On a car this size, that adjustability matters most under trail-braking into a roundabout, where a softer factory setup lets the nose dive and the rear step wide; a Super Sport-equipped Octavia holds its attitude through that transition instead. Day to day, the same adjustment range means you can back the damping off for a motorway commute and firm it back up before a track morning, rather than living with one compromised setting.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ’s Super Sport is built as a monotube damper with 36-way damping adjustment, aimed squarely at drivers who want one set of coilovers to cover both a daily commute and a weekend on track rather than running separate road and track setups. The core engineering brief is comfort: the damper is tuned to remove the harshness that comes from stiffer springs and a lowered ride height, so speed bumps and broken tarmac don’t translate straight into the cabin the way they do on cheaper lowering kits. Ride height adjustment lets you dial the car to your target stance without touching spring rate, which keeps the damper working in the part of its stroke it was tuned for. It’s a road-biased performance damper rather than a stripped-out race-only unit – the 36 clicks give you a wide enough spread to go from a soft, compliant road setting to something noticeably tauter for a circuit session, then back again.

Fitment for the Skoda Octavia 5E Sedan (2013-2019)

This kit is built for the 5E-chassis Octavia Sedan fitted with the rear multi-link suspension (φ55 rear damper diameter), covering the 2013-2019 model years. Confirm your car uses the multi-link rear axle rather than the torsion-beam layout before ordering, as the two use different rear coilover assemblies.
