Toyota CAMRY XV20 (TYPE 2) 1997-2001 — Coilovers

The XV20 Camry was built to glide, not to grip. Its engine sits heavy over the front axle – especially the 1MZ V6 cars – and the factory springs let the body lean long before the front tyres are actually loaded up. XYZ Racing’s coilover range for the Toyota Camry XV20 (type 2) 1997-2001 swaps that soft, travel-happy setup for height-adjustable struts and proper damping control, so the car settles into a corner instead of floating through it.

The family spans eight setups, from Street Advanced and Super Sport for a lowered fast-road saloon, through Top Sport, Racing Spec and Circuit Master for harder use, with Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Drift Spec options for owners building this XV20 platform into something less conventional.

What this coilover does for your 1997-2001 Toyota Camry

Lower the ride height and the XV20’s centre of gravity drops with it, cutting the lazy weight transfer that makes the standard Camry wallow on turn-in. Firmer, adjustable damping keeps the heavy nose planted under braking and stops the rear pattering over mid-corner bumps. On the V6 cars the difference is sharpest: vague, understeer-led handling becomes a front end you can actually point. Set the height to clear your chosen wheel and tyre, then tune the damping to suit your roads – softer for broken UK B-roads, firmer for smooth circuit tarmac.

About the coilover range

Each kit replaces the Camry’s separate spring and damper with a single height-adjustable coilover strut, with spring rates and valving matched to the intended use. Street Advanced and Super Sport favour daily comfort and a cleaner stance; Top Sport and Circuit Master raise spring rate and damping force for circuit work; Racing Spec is the firmest road-and-track option. The Tarmac Rally and Gravel Rally kits carry surface-specific valving, while Drift Spec prioritises front-end response and steering angle. All share threaded bodies for independent ride-height adjustment and adjustable damping to balance the car front to rear.
