XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Hyundai GETZ TB 1.5L CRDI 2002-2011

The Hyundai Getz TB is the unlikely hero of the UK club-rally scene – cheap to buy, light on its feet, and with a diesel torque curve that punishes anything trying to keep up out of a hairpin. The catch is the standard suspension, which was tuned for school-run compliance and folds the moment you commit to a sealed-stage pace note. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built specifically to handle the impact loads, kerb strikes and surface changes that define UK and European tarmac rallying.

This is not a fast-road coilover with a rally sticker. The damping philosophy is borrowed directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, where the priority is keeping the contact patch loaded over broken surfaces rather than chasing the lowest possible ride height.

What this coilover does for your 2002-2011 Hyundai GETZ TB 1.5L CRDI

The Getz’s short wheelbase and tall sidewall combine to make it lively on smooth tarmac and unsettled on bad surfaces – exactly the conditions a UK tarmac stage will throw at it in February. The Tarmac Rally damping is built to absorb big single hits, the kind delivered by a sunken drain cover or a kerb-cut apex, without packing down or losing rebound control on the exit. In practice that translates to a CRDI Getz that stays planted under trail-braking into a tight third-gear corner, where a road coilover would skip and a softer rally setup would wallow. The torque-rich 1.5 diesel can put its drive down earlier on corner exit because the contact patch is no longer pattering across mid-corner ripples. Ride height is adjustable so you can run a sensible stage-friendly clearance rather than scraping sumps on every cattle grid.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally series is engineered around a single brief: keep the tyre loaded over broken sealed surfaces. The damping is tuned to suppress body shock when the car crosses a large bump, rather than transmitting the spike straight into the chassis and unloading the inside wheels mid-corner. That bias toward compliance over big inputs is what separates a true tarmac rally damper from a stiff circuit setup that simply cannot cope with surface irregularities at speed. The settings are not theoretical – they are pulled directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally competition experience, where every valving choice has to survive a full stage rather than a single flying lap. The result is a damper that prioritises traction and predictability over outright stiffness, which is why it works on a small, light, front-driven car like the Getz where loss of grip is loss of stage time.

Fitment for the Hyundai GETZ TB 1.5L CRDI (2002-2011)

This kit fits the TB-generation Hyundai Getz with the 1.5L CRDI diesel powertrain, covering the full 2002 to 2011 production run on chassis code HY13. The CRDI variant’s slightly different front-end weight versus the petrol cars is accounted for in the spring selection.
