XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mazda CX-5 (KE) 4WD 2013-2017

The first-generation CX-5’s tall SkyActiv body carries its mass high and leans hard through quick direction changes, and the i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive hardware only adds to the weight sitting over the front axle. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover sets out to bring that mass under control without turning a daily crossover into something you dread on a motorway slip road.

Built for enthusiast street use with adjustable comfort in mind, this kit lets you drop the ride height, tighten the body motions and still keep the KE liveable for the school run and the long haul. It is the pick for an owner who wants their CX-5 to sit and steer like it means it, rather than wallow on factory springs.

What these coilovers do for your 2013-2017 Mazda CX-5 (KE) 4WD

Lower the centre of gravity and the KE stops leaning on its outside front tyre mid-corner, so turn-in sharpens and the nose follows your hands instead of washing wide. The 720-way damping range means you can run a firmer setting for a B-road blast and back it off for broken urban tarmac, all without touching a spanner to the spring. Body control over crests and through roundabouts improves, the stance tightens the arch gaps that date a stock crossover, and braking stays composed because the front end no longer dives onto its bump stops. On a 4WD CX-5 carrying extra driveline weight, that recovered composure is the change you feel first.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Street Advanced over several years through its own competition programme, refining the valving against feedback from racing worldwide before signing it off for the road. The result is a kit aimed squarely at the overlap between everyday driving and the occasional track day, where one set has to behave on the commute and then hold up when you start pushing. Its headline feature is a 720-way damping adjuster, giving a wide span of bump and rebound settings from one knob per corner so you can match the car to the surface and your mood. Height is set independently of spring preload, which keeps suspension travel sensible as you lower. XYZ positions this as core kit for drivers chasing more speed and sharper control, and the breadth of adjustment is what makes that claim stick on a heavy, tall platform like the CX-5.

Fitment for the Mazda CX-5 (KE) 4WD (2013-2017)

This kit is built specifically for the first-generation Mazda CX-5 (KE) in 4WD form, covering the 2013 to 2017 model years. It suits the i-ACTIV all-wheel-drive chassis rather than the front-drive cars, so the strut and rear mounting hardware matches the KE’s heavier driveline layout. Confirm your build year falls inside the 2013-2017 span before ordering.
