XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Chery A3 2009-2015

The Chery A3 sits in an awkward corner of the UK enthusiast market – a tidy C-segment saloon and hatch that arrived with reasonable bones but factory damping tuned for comfort over composure. Owners running the CE01 platform tend to discover the same thing: the car has more chassis in it than the OEM struts ever let through, and the body rolls onto its outside shoulder long before the tyres are working.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is the answer for an A3 owner who wants fast-road sharpness with the option of a weekend track booking, without turning the car into something unusable on a B-road commute. Ride height adjusts down to a sensible drop, damping adjusts across 36 clicks, and the chassis finally gets to use the contact patch it always had.

What this coilover does for your 2009-2015 Chery A3

Drop the A3 onto a properly adjustable platform and the first thing the car loses is that vague, floaty transition between throttle and brake. Body roll tightens up, the front end commits earlier to a chosen line, and the rear stops shuffling sideways over mid-corner bumps. The 36-way damping range is the headline number, and it earns its keep here – softer settings keep the car liveable on broken UK B-roads and motorway expansion joints, while the firmer end of the range stiffens things up enough for a Cadwell or Mallory session without rattling fillings loose. Ride-height adjustment lets you set a stance that suits the wheel and tyre package without resorting to spring spacers or compromised geometry.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-with-track-capability damper, sitting deliberately between a pure street drop kit and a full circuit-only setup. Construction is a height-adjustable coilover with independent damping adjustment at each corner, giving 36 detented clicks of bump and rebound control on a single knob. The damper valving is built to absorb high-frequency hits from bumps and surface scars – the kind of input that makes cheaper kits skip and crash – while still resisting body movement under load. XYZ position this damper as a single platform that can be reset between road and circuit use rather than a compromise that does neither well. The result is a coilover that survives daily duty without beating up the cabin, and stiffens up to something genuinely usable when you point it at a circuit.

Fitment for the Chery A3 (2009-2015)

This kit is built specifically for the CE01-platform Chery A3 across the full 2009 to 2015 production span, covering both saloon and hatchback bodies on the standard suspension layout. Chassis code, mounting hardware and strut geometry are matched to the OEM pickup points, so installation is a direct swap onto factory mounts.
