XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — MG HS 2/4WD 2020-2026

The MG HS is a tall, family-oriented crossover carrying real mass over the front axle, and that single fact dictates how any suspension upgrade has to behave. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for owners who actually use the HS on broken British B-roads and stage-rep tarmac surfaces, where standard dampers run out of stroke and the body starts to heave long before the tyres do.

This is the Tarmac Rally spec – longer travel than a circuit kit, valved to absorb mid-corner intrusions without unsettling the chassis. For a 2/4WD HS that has to put power down on damp Welsh tarmac or a wet airfield stage, that compliance is the difference between forward progress and a front end that simply pushes wide.

What this coilover does for your 2020-2026 Mg HS 2/4WD

Fitted to the HS, the Tarmac Rally kit pulls the centre of gravity down and gives the chassis a defined platform to work against, so the front tyres stop scrubbing under steady-state cornering load. The 30-way damping adjustment lets you run a softer setting for surface compliance on rough tarmac, then firm up for smoother sections without touching ride height. Pillowball top mounts sharpen steering response – useful on a vehicle whose factory bushings prioritise NVH over feedback. Ride height is independently adjustable from spring preload, so you can lower the body to recover roll-centre geometry without losing damper stroke. On the 4WD variant, the more controlled vertical movement helps the rear axle stay loaded, which is where this drivetrain actually finds traction.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally sits between the road-biased Super Sport and the full Gravel Rally kit in the XYZ Racing range. Construction is a monotube damper with a separate progressive bump stop, longer-stroke than circuit specification, and matched to spring rates chosen for sealed-surface rally use rather than smooth race-track tarmac. The 30-position damping adjuster covers both compression and rebound through a single click pattern, which keeps setup quick between stages. Camber-adjustable pillowball top mounts at the front help you recover negative camber lost to lowering. Bodies are anodised against road salt and stone-chip pitting – relevant on a UK-driven HS that will see winter use. Spring rates and valving are specified by XYZ Racing for the HS platform rather than reused from a generic crossover application.

Fitment for the Mg HS 2/4WD (2020-2026)

This kit is specific to the MG02-chassis HS in both 2WD and 4WD forms, model years 2020 through 2026. Both drivetrain variants share the same coilover specification. Confirm your build year and drivetrain at the configurator before ordering.
