XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz EQA H243 2022-2026

The EQA H243 carries a battery pack low in its floor and tips the scales close to two tonnes, which gives it a centre of gravity most combustion crossovers can only dream of – and a kerb weight that demolishes a soft factory damper inside a winter of B-road work. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for that mass: high-rate springs and a damping curve tuned for sealed-surface stage work, with the body control to keep an EV SUV planted when the road turns into a special.

Tarmac Rally is the spec to pick when the EQA is being used in anger on closed roads, hillclimbs, or sprint events where the surface is paved but the loadings are well beyond fast-road. It is not a comfort coilover and it is not pretending to be.

What this coilover does for your 2022-2026 Mercedes Benz EQA H243

The first thing you feel on a heavy EV is the way the chassis stops floating mid-corner. Spring rates sized for a battery-laden H243 take out the secondary heave that the OE air-assisted set-up allows under load, and the damping resists the slow rebound that turns a quick direction change into a pendulum. Turn-in sharpens because the front axle is no longer waiting for weight to settle. Adjustable damping lets you stiffen the car for a smooth tarmac stage and back it off when the surface gets broken. Ride height comes down enough to drop the centre of gravity another useful increment without burying the underbody trays.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s sealed-surface rally and fast-tarmac spec, sitting above the Circuit Master in spring rate and damping authority. The kit uses a 30-way adjustable monotube damper with separate compression and rebound control via the single knob, paired with high-rate linear springs chosen for kerb weights in the EQA’s bracket. Ride-height adjustment is independent of spring preload, so the car can be corner-weighted properly without throwing the damper into the wrong part of its travel. Top mounts are pillowball where the OEM geometry permits, removing the bushing compliance that takes the edge off steering response on a heavy SUV chassis. The build is rebuildable and revalveable – this is a service item, not a sealed unit.
