XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Geely FREE CRUISER 2005-2026

The Geely FREE Cruiser is a left-field choice for a sealed-stage rally build – a compact saloon platform that was never engineered with closed-road tarmac stages in mind, which means the stock damping has nothing to say once you start loading it through a fourth-gear sweeper at full commitment. The Tarmac Rally coilover is XYZ Racing’s answer for that exact gap: a damper tuned to keep the GE01 chassis composed across patched asphalt, ridged cambers and the broken edges that define real Welsh and Scottish tarmac stage surfaces.

This is the spec to fit if your FREE Cruiser is going on closed-road events rather than gravel, and if you need a coilover that will absorb a mid-corner compression without bouncing the inside front off the surface on exit.

What this coilover does for your 2005-2026 Geely FREE Cruiser

The Tarmac Rally damper is built to absorb the jolt across big surface breaks – the kind of impact that on a road coilover would unsettle the car and cost you the line. On the FREE Cruiser specifically, that translates to a chassis that stays planted across the ridged centreline strips and patched repairs typical of UK tarmac stages, instead of skipping wide. Shock into the body is suppressed rather than transmitted, which keeps the tyre loaded and the contact patch working under load transfer. Traction holds where stock damping would have given up, and that is the difference between a stage time you can defend and one you cannot.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The settings on this damper are drawn directly from XYZ Racing’s own Tarmac Rally programme – it is not a road coilover with stiffer springs, it is a unit valved for sealed-surface stage use. The brief is specific: absorb the impact of uneven pavement, suppress body movement under repeated big hits, and keep the tyre planted when the surface goes from smooth to broken inside a single corner. Spring and damping rates are matched to the loadings a rally car generates under stage pace rather than a circuit lap, which is a meaningfully different problem – tarmac stages punish a damper that runs out of stroke or packs down on consecutive compressions. Vehicle stability is the headline outcome, and that stability is what lets the driver commit to a line that a softer setup would not allow.
