Professional Grade Coilovers Without The Price Tag

1 – XYZ Racing Super Sport Top Mount
The XYZ Racing strut design on our Kia K5- shock absorbers in the Super Sport (SS) range are McPherson struts, which come with pillow ball upper mounts. If your car has wishbone struts then the super sport kit will come provided with aluminium top mounts. If your K5- does not have a suspension system with holes in the top mount then you will need to use your existing OEM upper mount. If you have a vehicle where it is possible to install a pillow ball or aluminium top mount then you can opt to change it from the default XYZ recommended and supplied top mount for a small fee. Check the bottom of this page to see what top mounts are supplied for both front and rear for this model of K5-.

Please Note: With our pillow ball top mounts it is also possible to adjust camber degree, the positive effect of this is that you tune your suspension setup and increase the stability and handling of your K5- by 10%, however the downside is that the pillow ball may be susceptible to creating a slight noise when driving over big bumps, this noise is not a defect and is not covered by our warranty.

2 – XYZ Racing Patented Mono-Tube Design
We opted for the mono-tube design in this super sport coilover system as it offers outstanding responsiveness and retains stable shock absorber damping for a comfy ride over uneven roads, pot holes and bumps. The super sport damper with its enormous piston diameter of 45mm can also be fine-tuned using our adjustable damper system for to allow you to easily change the suspension setup for weekend racing as well. This type of design offers you a big brand coilovers system for your K5- without having to pay the price tag and is what makes our product so unique that it stands out from the rest.

3 – XYZ Racing Fully Adjustable Lower Mounts
We use aluminium material to in our lower mounts to reduce the weight of the kit, the lower mount is moveable so that both pre load and ride height can be adjusted by via the bottom mount. For a McPherson bottom mount we use steel (SPHC-C) to maximise the strength which avoids

4 – XYZ Racing 30-Way Adjustable Dampening System
Using the supplied needle valves XYZ super sport kits offer 30-way dampening to allow you to get the most out of your new K5- suspension kit which give you flexibility for best performance on all different types of road conditions and surfaces. The shock absorber needle valve gives you linear damping adjustment at each and every level.

5 – XYZ Racing Anti-Rust Manufacturing Process
We want to provide you with long lasting suspension kit you can always be proud of, so all of our threaded parts are manufactured with a coating of fluorine to prevent corrosion or adherence. Our bottom mounts are anodized at the factory to provide the same level of protection

6 – XYZ Racing Coil Springs
99% of our super sport coilover kits come with a pillow ball upper mount to give you an experience of direct control from your suspension. Our Super Sport damper is equipped with hi-tech springs that have been designed and tested by racing professionals and tuned to the most perfect spring rates in accordance with a stock KIA K5- car. Unless you have extremely modified your K5- we recommend leaving our professionally tested spring rating as standard, however for a small fee we can adjust the spring rating for you at the factory, to view our supplied kit spring ratings for each and every model please click here

7 – XYZ Racing Lightweight Aluminium Bottom Mount
As well as aluminium’s excellent quality of being able to dissipate heat, the bottom mount is also manufactured in aluminium to reduce weight of the super sport kit – This is another unique feature which makes XYZ Racing stand out from the crowd

8 – XYZ Racing Spring Bearing
The Super Sport kits are designed for comfort in mind, for those that with to slam their vehicles as low as possible an important feature to consider when choosing your kit is that our spring bearings on an XYZ SS kit are Teflon bearings, which will eliminate strange noises found in most aftermarket kits and will give your K5- a smoother ride whilst turning.

Its a good combination of ride comfort just as you would expect from the OEM top mounts and also provides good handling due to the pillow ball.

Pillow ball top mounts are designed by default for racing, and therefore pillow ball alone can produce undesired effects to road users.
Our pillow ball rubber top mounts bring the best of both worlds when combining ride comfort whilst sustaining handling performance for racing.
