XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda FIT GK 2014-2020

The GK-generation Honda FIT is a featherweight with a tall body and a torsion-beam rear – a combination that punishes you on a broken tarmac stage the moment you commit to a corner. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Honda FIT GK is built to keep that short-wheelbase hatch loaded and tracking through mid-corner ruts, drainage strips and patch-repaired apexes that would unsettle a softer setup.

Sealed-surface rally is its own discipline – faster average speeds than gravel, much harder hits than circuit work – and this kit is tuned for exactly that window. Settings are carried straight across from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, not adapted from a road kit.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Honda FIT GK

The GK chassis runs a relatively soft factory rear and a short overhang up front, so the limit on a rough stage is usually wheel control rather than outright grip. The Tarmac Rally damper is valved to soak up sudden vertical loads – kerb strikes, expansion joints, mid-corner step-downs – without letting the tyre skip or the body pitch onto its bumpstops. You feel it as a calmer steering wheel over broken surfaces and a rear axle that stays planted on lift-off, which matters in a car this light.

Spring and damper rates are matched to the FIT GK’s kerb weight and 50:50-ish corner balance with passengers and a co-driver’s kit on board. The result is a car that rolls predictably into a long sweeper and recovers cleanly when the surface stops cooperating.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally damper is engineered for one job: sealed-stage rally use where pavement quality varies sentence by sentence. The internal valving prioritises absorbing big single hits – the jolt across a patched bridge joint, the drop off a crested junction – while still suppressing body movement on the smoother sections in between. Reducing that shock through the body keeps the tyre contact patch on the road for longer, and that is where the lap time and the stability come from.

Construction and damping characteristics are signed off using data from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally competition programme. Every setting in the kit traces back to a stage rather than a dyno graph, which is the difference between a coilover that survives a rally and one that was simply marketed at it.

Fitment for the Honda FIT (2014-2020)

This kit is built for the GK-chassis Honda FIT, model years 2014 through 2020. Confirm your chassis code reads GK before ordering; the previous GE FIT and the newer GR use different mounting hardware and travel.
