XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mazda CX-60 2022-2026

The Mazda CX-60’s longitudinal rear-drive layout and 2,000kg-plus kerb weight make it one of the more interesting SUV chassis to set up properly. The factory KPC system does a lot to mask body roll, but at fast-road pace the standard dampers run out of control long before the tyres do. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover addresses that head-on with a setup borrowed from sealed-surface stage rallying.

Tarmac Rally spec is the right pick when grip is high, surface changes are aggressive, and the damper has to control sustained vertical loads without fading. On a CX-60 (MA36) it pulls the centre of gravity down, sharpens turn-in, and gives the chassis a usable working window the OEM hardware doesn’t have.

What this coilover does for your 2022-2026 Mazda CX-60

Drop the CX-60 onto Tarmac Rally coilovers and the first thing you feel is the body settling instantly mid-corner rather than rolling onto its outside tyres and pushing wide. The high-rebound damping rate keeps the rear axle planted when you trail-brake into a compression, which is where the standard car gives up first. Ride-height adjustment lets you set a stance that suits the wheel and tyre package without compromising bump travel, and the 30-way damping range covers everything from a B-road blast to a sealed hillclimb. Spring rates are matched to the CX-60’s weight distribution so you get pitch control under heavy braking without the rear stepping out unprovoked. Bushings and mounts are sized for the loads a 2-tonne SUV actually puts through them.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s sealed-surface stage spec – a monotube damper built around high-temperature shim stacks that hold their valving deep into a hard run. The body is hard-anodised for corrosion resistance against UK winter salt, and the pillowball top mounts replace the rubber OEM bushings to give the damper a direct load path into the strut tower. Spring rates are higher than the Super Sport road spec but lower than full Circuit Master race tune, sitting in the window where the car still works on broken Tarmac. Damping is single-adjustable across 30 detented clicks, biased toward rebound control because that’s what kills SUV body movement. Ride-height is adjusted on the lower bracket so spring preload stays correct through the range.

Fitment for the Mazda CX-60 (2022-2026)

Fits all CX-60 variants on the MA36 chassis from 2022 through to 2026 model year, covering the PHEV, mild-hybrid petrol and 3.3-litre inline-six diesel drivetrains. Spring rates and damper valving are specified for the CX-60’s longitudinal RWD/AWD platform.
