XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda ODYSSEY RC1 (McPHERSON) 2014-2026

The Honda Odyssey RC1 is an unusual rally weapon – a tall, front-drive seven-seater on a MacPherson front end that was never meant to see a stage. Owners running these on sealed Asian rally events know the brief: kill the body roll, hold the nose flat into camber changes, and stop the front tyres washing wide when the road surface turns from smooth tarmac to broken patchwork mid-corner.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for exactly that job. It takes the RC1’s high centre of gravity and family-MPV spring rates out of the equation, and replaces them with a damper tuned from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2026 Honda Odyssey RC1 (mcpherson)

The first thing you feel in an RC1 on this kit is the body settling – the long-travel float of the standard suspension gone, replaced by a chassis that actually loads its outside front tyre rather than leaning onto it. Mid-corner bumps that used to unsettle the line get absorbed instead of bounced over, so the front end keeps biting where the standard car would understeer off-camber. Damping is adjustable, so the same car that runs a stiffer setting on smooth, sealed stages can be softened for broken tarmac transitions without pulling the kit apart. Braking into a tightening corner is the other obvious gain: the nose stops diving onto the bump-stops, which is what lets you trail-brake an Odyssey at all.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

This is a damper engineered specifically for sealed-stage tarmac rally, not a fast-road kit with a sticker on it. The valving is built to absorb the impact of uneven pavement and to soak up the jolt when the car crosses a sharp ridge or expansion joint at speed, suppressing shock through the body rather than transmitting it into the chassis. That control keeps the tyres pressed into the surface under load, which is where traction lives on a rally stage where grip changes from one apex to the next. Every setting in the kit comes out of XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally experience – the spring rates, the damping curves, and the ride height window are all the result of competition development rather than an extrapolation from a road catalogue. The result is a coilover that gives the driver a stable platform to work from, with the predictability you need when the next corner is blind.
