XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Toyota AVALON XLS (TYPE 2) 1994-1999

The first-generation Avalon was built to glide rather than grip – a wide Camry-derived platform carrying a transverse 3.0 V6 over the front axle, sprung soft enough to iron out motorway expansion joints and lean heavily the moment you ask it to change direction. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Toyota Avalon XLS (type 2) is aimed squarely at that factory softness, replacing the floaty OEM struts with a height-adjustable, damping-adjustable setup that tightens body control without turning a comfortable saloon into something you dread on a long drive.

This is the fast-road and weekend-track member of the XYZ range, and it suits the Avalon’s character well. You keep the easy daily manners this big FWD cruiser is known for, then firm things up for a B-road blast or an occasional track session by turning a knob rather than swapping parts.

What this coilover does for your 1994-1999 Toyota Avalon XLS (type 2)

The most obvious change on a nose-heavy car like the Avalon is the reduction in dive and roll. Lowering the ride height drops the centre of gravity and pulls the front of the car flatter under braking, so the front tyres stay better loaded when you trail into a corner. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you run a softer setting for everyday comfort and a firmer one when you want the body held in check, which matters on a 1.5-tonne-plus saloon that the factory tuned almost entirely for ride. Stance improves too, closing the soft-suspension wheel gap that dates these cars. The result is a more planted, more confident Avalon that still rides cleanly over poor surfaces.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is engineered to remove the harshness usually associated with lowering a comfort-biased car. Where cheaper kits trade ride quality for a drop, this damper is designed to absorb bumps and rough surfaces while still controlling the chassis. Ride height is fully adjustable, so you can set the car to clear British speed bumps or sit it lower for a tidier look. The headline feature is 36-way dampening adjustment, giving you a wide spread of settings from soft daily compliance through to firmer, more disciplined control. XYZ positions this kit for both weekend race use and daily driving, which is exactly the brief most Avalon owners are working to.
