XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E WAGON φ50 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) 2013-2019

The 5E Octavia Wagon built on the φ50 rear multi-link platform sits apart from the torsion-beam cars further down the range – independent rear geometry gives it more to work with, but only if the dampers controlling that geometry are up to the job. Load a wagon like this with passengers and a boot full of gear and the rear end has real mass to manage through a fast B-road or a track’s first braking zone.

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built around that fast-road-and-weekend-track brief. It replaces the factory setup with a system you can adjust for ride height and for damping, so the same car that does the school run on a Tuesday can be firmed up for a trackday on Saturday without swapping parts.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

Ride height adjustment lets you correct the stance changes that come with a loaded estate – drop the front for a level look, or lift slightly if you’re carrying weight in the back regularly, without touching spring rate. The 36-way damping adjustment is the more useful change on a car with independent multi-link geometry at the rear: back the compression off for broken UK B-roads and the wagon rides without the harshness a fixed-rate setup would give you, then wind it up before a track session and the extra body control keeps the rear axle settled under trail-braking into slower corners. For a car this size, that range between comfortable and controlled matters more than on a lighter hatchback – you’re managing more mass through the same corner.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s answer to a specific complaint: aftermarket coilovers that ride hard enough to make daily use miserable. It’s built to take the harshness out of poor road surfaces while still giving you a system with real adjustment range – 36 damping positions and independent ride height control, so the same kit can be set soft for a commute and firmed up without changing parts. That dual brief is why it’s positioned for weekend racing as much as everyday driving rather than one or the other. On the Octavia’s multi-link rear, that adjustability is what lets you actually use the geometry the factory built in, rather than fighting a compromise damper that’s either too soft to control the car or too stiff to live with.

Fitment for the Skoda Octavia 5E Wagon Φ50 (rr Multi-link Suspension) (2013-2019)

This kit is built specifically for the 5E Octavia Wagon fitted with the φ50 rear multi-link suspension – chassis code SK17 – covering the 2013 to 2019 production run. It is not the same fitment as the torsion-beam rear Octavia from the same generation, so confirm your car has the multi-link rear axle before ordering.
