XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mazda MX-6 1992-1998

The GE-platform MX-6 is one of the few front-drive coupes of its era that genuinely rewarded a stiffer setup, and the Tarmac Rally spec is built for owners who want to wake the chassis up properly. The KL-ZE V6 sits ahead of the front axle and the standard dampers have long since given up on controlling it, which is exactly the problem this kit is designed to solve.

This is a sealed-surface rally tune rather than a gravel setup. Spring rates and damping are pitched for grip on tarmac stages and fast B-roads, where the MX-6’s long wheelbase and softer factory geometry need firmer control to stop the nose washing wide on turn-in.

What this coilover does for your 1992-1998 Mazda MX-6

The Tarmac Rally kit pulls the MX-6 down into its arches and stiffens the body in roll, so the chassis stops leaning on the outside front tyre mid-corner. You feel the V6’s weight transfer earlier and more progressively, which makes trail-braking the coupe into a tightening bend a far more confident proposition.

Ride height is adjustable independent of spring preload, so corner-weighting is possible without binding the springs. Damping adjustment lets you firm the kit up for a stage or a track day and back it off for the road home. The MX-6’s natural understeer balance can be tuned out without resorting to oversized anti-roll bars.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is a tarmac-stage rally spec from the XYZ Racing range, built around monotube damper bodies with full ride-height and damping adjustment. Spring rates are higher than the road-biased kits in the catalogue, matched to a tarmac valving curve that controls a stiff spring without making the car skip over mid-corner bumps.

Construction uses hardened damper rods and steel bodies designed to survive kerb strikes and the abuse of a stage car. Top mounts are pillowball at the front where geometry allows, giving sharper steering response than rubber. The kit is designed for cars that see competitive use but are still driven to and from events under their own power.

Fitment for the Mazda MX-6 (1992-1998)
