XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Subaru XV GP 4WD 2012-2017

The Subaru XV GP’s raised crossover ride height was tuned for gravel tracks and speed bumps, not for hard cornering, and that extra travel shows up as body roll the moment you push the factory-spec chassis on a B-road or a track day. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover kit for the SU20-chassis XV GP 4WD drops that stance and firms up the platform without turning the car into something that hates broken tarmac. It is built with fast-road driving and weekend track use in mind, not a full race build, so the balance between comfort and control is the whole point.

36-way damping adjustment means the ride can be set stiff for a trackday and wound back off for the drive home, or for the school run in between. Ride height is adjustable independently of damping, so the AWD platform’s weight distribution can be tuned rather than just lowered and left.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2017 Subaru XV GP 4WD

Dropping the ride height on the XV GP pulls the centre of gravity down and immediately cuts the pitch and roll that come standard on the factory setup, so the car turns in with less lean and holds a line better under load. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you firm up compression and rebound for track days, then back it off for motorway miles and rougher B-roads, which matters on a chassis that never got a particularly stiff factory tune to begin with. Because ride height and damping are set independently, you can settle the AWD platform’s weight transfer under braking and mid-corner without sacrificing the ground clearance a raised crossover body needs for speed bumps and steep driveways. The result is a car that changes direction with more confidence and less float, while still behaving like a Subaru you can drive every day of the week.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s damper built to take the harshness out of poor road surfaces without turning soft. Independent ride height adjustment lets you set the car lower for handling or keep clearance for daily use, and 36 levels of damping adjustment give a genuinely wide spread between a comfortable daily setting and a firmer track-day one, so the same kit can be retuned for different road conditions rather than sitting at one fixed compromise. XYZ position this as a dual-purpose damper: composed enough for a weekend race or trackday outing, compliant enough to live with as a daily driver the rest of the week. On the SU20 platform that duality matters, because XV GP owners are as likely to be doing a supermarket run as a trackday, and the damper needs to cope with both without a full respring or a garage visit in between.

Fitment for the Subaru XV GP (2012-2017)

This kit is built for the SU20-chassis Subaru XV GP 4WD produced from 2012 to 2017, matching the symmetrical all-wheel-drive platform’s mounting points and geometry across that model run. Confirm your build year falls within this range before ordering, as Subaru revised the XV generation after 2017 and mounting points changed accordingly.
