XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mazda 6 (GG1) (NON MPS) 2002-2008

The first-generation Mazda 6 GG saloon is one of the more honest mid-size chassis of its era – a long wheelbase, near-50/50 weight balance, and a front strut setup that responds genuinely well to a proper coilover. On standard dampers the GG1 floats over UK B-road camber changes and rolls heavily into faster sweeps, which is exactly the behaviour the XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover is built to clean up on a fast-road Mazda 6.

This is the spec for owners who drive their 2002-2008 GG1 hard on the road and occasionally point it at a trackday, but still want to live with it Monday morning. It tightens body control without turning the saloon into something that crashes over expansion joints.

What this coilover does for your 2002-2008 Mazda 6 (GG1) (NON MPS)

Drop the Super Sport onto a GG1 and the first thing you notice is the nose stops diving under hard braking into a roundabout – the front MacPherson struts finally have the damping authority to control the weight transfer the standard car never managed. Turn-in sharpens, the saloon’s tendency to lean onto its outside front tyre is reined in, and mid-corner the chassis sits flatter so you can actually feel what the front axle is doing. The 30-way damping adjustment lets you run a softer setting for the daily commute and stiffen things up for a weekend on smoother tarmac or a circuit session. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, so you can drop the GG1’s slightly tall factory stance without pre-loading the springs and ruining low-speed compliance. The result is a Mazda 6 that finally feels like the sports saloon its chassis hinted at.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in the middle of the XYZ Racing range, aimed squarely at fast-road use with occasional track work. Construction is a full monotube damper with a separate spring perch for independent height and preload adjustment, so corner-weighting is genuinely possible rather than approximated. The 30-way clicker on each damper adjusts compression and rebound together, which keeps setup simple for owners who don’t want to disappear down a four-way adjustable rabbit hole. Spring rates are matched to the chassis weight and the strut motion ratio rather than picked from a generic catalogue, which is why the Super Sport rides better on UK roads than budget twin-tube kits at similar money. Pillowball top mounts on the front struts give you precise camber feedback through the steering, while rubber-isolated rears keep cabin noise sensible on the motorway.
