XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — BMW X5 E70 4WD (NON AIR STRUT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2013

The E70 X5 was sold on air suspension for a reason – it is a two-and-a-bit-tonne SUV with a high centre of gravity and a chassis that BMW tuned for compliance over composure. Strip the air struts out and the car’s character is up for grabs: it can ride like a skip lorry, or it can finally turn in like an X5 always threatened to. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built for the second outcome.

This is the fast-road and occasional-track spec for owners running the non-air, four-wheel-drive E70 with the electronic damping cancellation kit. The 36-way damping range gives you the headroom to handle 19s or 20s on the school run during the week and firm the car up for a B-road blast or a weekend track session without changing parts.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2013 Bmw X5 E70 4WD (NON AIR STRUT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Lowering the E70’s centre of gravity is the single biggest mechanical change you can make to its on-road behaviour, and a proper coilover does it without the rebound chaos a spring-only drop introduces on a chassis this heavy. Step initial damping back at the soft end and the X5 rides bumps and expansion joints in a way the worn-out factory air struts never quite manage. Wind the adjusters firmer and the body roll that defines the stock car under cornering load disappears, the nose stops dipping into the brake zone, and the rear axle stays planted under power out of slow corners – useful given the four-wheel-drive system has the traction to actually use the throttle. Ride height is fully adjustable so you can sit the car level on bigger wheels without rolling the arches, and the cancellation kit means no fault codes from the EDC module once the OE setup is unplugged.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s middle ground – more compliant than a circuit-only damper, more capable than a budget lowering kit. The 36-way damping adjuster gives a useable spread from soft daily settings to firm weekend-track settings on a single dial per corner, so the same kit covers a Monday motorway commute and a Sunday session at Bedford without unbolting anything. Ride-height adjustment is independent of spring preload, which means you can set the car’s stance without compromising suspension travel – critical on an SUV with this much sprung mass. The damper internals are tuned to suppress the harshness that comes from running a stiffer spring on a poorly surfaced UK B-road; XYZ describe the platform as a high-performance damper engineered for both weekend race work and daily use, and that brief shows in how the kit is valved. For an E70 owner who has either had an air strut fail or wants to delete the system pre-emptively, this is the spec that gets you back on the road with the car driving better than it did from new.

Fitment for the Bmw X5 E70 4WD (NON AIR STRUT) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2007-2013)

Built for the E70 X5 four-wheel-drive on the non-air-strut chassis variant, model years 2007 to 2013, chassis reference BM69-1-1-C. This kit ships with the electronic damping cancellation hardware so the EDC warning will not trigger once the factory dampers are unplugged. Confirm your car is the non-air-strut variant before ordering – the air-suspension E70 takes a different part.
