XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Subaru IMPREZA GE/GH/GR/GB (TYPE 2) 2WD/4WD 2007-2014

Subaru built the GE/GH/GR/GB Impreza soft. The third-generation car carried more mass than the bug-eye and blob-eye Imprezas before it, and the factory damping was tuned for ride comfort first, which leaves the body rolling and the nose diving long before the symmetrical AWD has run out of grip. The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover is the answer to that: a top-tier track and time-attack kit drawn directly from XYZ’s WTCC programme.

This is not a fast-road compromise. Racing Spec sits at the sharp end of the XYZ range, built for serious circuit and time-attack work where the limiting factor should be the tyre, not the chassis. For a 2WD or 4WD Impreza of this era being prepared for track duty, it gives the shell the body control the standard struts never had.

What these coilovers do for your 2007-2014 Subaru Impreza

Bolt these on and the first thing you feel is how flat the Impreza stays through quick changes of direction, the very thing the tall GR/GH body resists at standard height. Dropping the ride height plants the AWD and cuts the centre of gravity, while the firmer rates stop the nose washing wide under trail-braking into slower corners. On a 4WD car that means cleaner power-down on corner exit, because the rear is no longer squatting and unloading the front axle. On the lighter 2WD shells the same control sharpens turn-in without making the car nervous. The damping is specified to hold its composure across a full track session rather than going off as the oil heats.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec damper is engineered specifically for circuit racing, with its base settings taken from XYZ Racing’s direct involvement in championship competition including the WTCC. Every valving and rate decision traces back to data gathered on track rather than a road-biased starting point. For cars running aggressive modifications, the kind of spec you would see on a factory-supported racer or an A-class build, XYZ can produce custom-made shock absorbers to suit. The process is genuinely bespoke: supply the detail on your upgraded components and the circuits you intend to run, and the dampers can be built around that car and that use. For a 2007-2014 Impreza prepared for the limit, that means a coilover matched to the job, not a one-size catalogue part.

Fitment for the Subaru Impreza (2007-2014)

This kit is mapped to the type-2 GE/GH/GR/GB Impreza built between 2007 and 2014 under chassis code SU07, covering both 2WD and 4WD variants. Confirm your body style and drivetrain in the configurator before ordering so the spec matches your exact car.
