XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Honda ACCORD CD3/4/5/6 1993-1997

The fifth-generation Accord – the CD-chassis saloons, coupes and wagons that ran from 1993 to 1997 – was always a sweet base for a fast-road build, but the factory dampers were tuned for American boulevards rather than British B-roads. Three decades on, those original struts are long past their useful life, and what remains is a chassis that floats over crests and rolls noticeably through anything tighter than a roundabout. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built for owners restoring the CD-platform Accord as a usable, sharper-driving weekend car.

This is the fast-road-with-occasional-track-day pick in the XYZ Racing range. Ride height is fully adjustable on the threaded body, and the 36-way damping dial lets you settle on a setup that holds shape through a Cadwell chicane on Sunday and still copes with a pockmarked commute on Monday.

What this coilover does for your 1993-1997 Honda Accord Cd3/4/5/6

Drop the Accord onto the Super Sport kit and the first thing you notice is body control. The CD chassis carries its weight high over the front axle, and the stock spring-and-damper combination lets the nose dive long and roll lazily; 36-way damping shortens that movement and gives you a front end that actually points where you ask it to. Ride height adjustment means you can correct the cartoonish factory wheel gap and recover proper geometry without resorting to lowering springs on tired dampers. On rougher surfaces the damper has been valved to absorb hits rather than crash through them, so a stiffer ride does not become a punishing one. For the CD5 and CD7 wagon owners running boot loads, the threaded perches let you reset corner heights once the car is loaded the way you actually use it. Brake confidence improves too – less pitch under load means the front tyres stay loaded evenly through trail-braking into a slow corner.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing builds the Super Sport around a damper designed to eliminate the discomfort that comes from bumps and broken surfaces, which is a useful starting point for a UK car that will spend most of its life on roads the original engineers never imagined. The headline figures are full ride-height adjustment on the threaded lower body and 36 clicks of damping adjustment per corner, accessed through a knob at the top of each unit. That breadth of adjustment is what gives the kit its dual personality – the same hardware can be set firm for a weekend session at Donington and softened off for a long motorway slog the day after. XYZ Racing positions the Super Sport as suitable for both weekend race work and daily use, and the spec backs that up: it is not a stripped-out time-attack damper, nor is it a soft comfort coilover with adjustment for show. The 36-way range is the substance – enough resolution to find a setting that suits your tyre choice, your spring preload, and the way you actually drive the car.
