XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Changan BENBEN ii 2006-2008

The Benben ii’s short wheelbase and kerb weight under a tonne mean the factory dampers are tuned for one job: soaking up potholes cheaply, not controlling the body once you start driving with any intent. Push a CN01-chassis car through a roundabout or a quick direction change and the soft factory rates let the nose dive and the body roll further than the chassis itself can actually handle.

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport kit is built for exactly that gap between comfort-focused factory setup and a car you actually want to drive properly – occasional track days and daily commuting on the same set of coilovers, without swapping parts between the two.

What this coilover kit does for your 2006-2008 Changan(长安) Benben ii

Fitted to the Benben ii, the kit’s raised damping and spring rate – up 30-50% on damping, or roughly 2kg/mm firmer on springs versus the standard street tune – cuts the amount of body movement you feel through direction changes, which matters more on a light, short-wheelbase car like this than it would on something heavier where mass already resists quick roll. Uneven tarmac and speed bumps still get absorbed rather than transmitted straight into the cabin, so the ride doesn’t turn punishing at the same time. Suppressing shock body movement keeps the contact patch flatter under load, which on a front-driven city car translates directly into more usable tyre traction when you’re accelerating out of a corner or braking into one. The net effect is a Benben ii that holds its line rather than wallowing through it, with the stability to back that up when you’re pushing on.

About the Top Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport range sits between a comfort-biased street coilover and a full race setup, built around damping and spring settings pulled directly from the brand’s own Top Sport racing programme. The core idea is a meaningful step up from standard – that 30-50% damping increase or 2kg/mm spring rate lift – rather than a wholesale race conversion, so the car still absorbs big hits like speed bumps and broken surfaces instead of just transmitting them. That firmer control suppresses excess shock body movement, keeping the tyre loaded and in contact with the road rather than skipping over it, which is where the stability gain actually comes from. It’s the configuration XYZ Racing designed specifically for drivers who want a car capable of an aggressive track day but still liveable on the drive there and back.
