XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — MG MG4 2022-2026

The MG4 is an oddity in the modern hot-hatch conversation: a rear-driven, battery-laden EV that weighs the better part of 1.7 tonnes and carries most of that mass low and central. That low centre of gravity is a gift to a suspension engineer, but the stock damping is tuned for ride comfort and silent cruising – not for sustained lateral load on a rally stage or a fast B-road. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the 2022-2026 MG4 is built to rewrite that brief.

Tarmac Rally is the specification XYZ assemble for sealed-surface stage work and the kind of fast, broken UK back roads that punish softer setups. On the MG05 platform, that means controlling the considerable sprung weight of the battery pack without ironing the chassis into rigidity.

What this coilover does for your 2022-2026 Mg(名爵) MG4

Fitting the Tarmac Rally spec transforms how the MG4 carries its weight through a corner. The damping curve is built for high-frequency inputs – kerb strikes, mid-corner ripples, compressions over crests – rather than the long, soft motorway swell the factory dampers are tuned for. You will feel the front end key into the road on turn-in instead of washing wide under the battery’s inertia. The pillow-ball top mounts replace the rubber-isolated factory bushings, giving the steering an immediacy that is almost startling on an EV. Ride height is adjustable independently of preload, so you can sit the car correctly without overloading the springs. Rebound damping is adjustable across a usable range, letting you firm up the rear for traction off slow corners or settle it for faster sweepers.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s sealed-surface rally specification – monotube construction, larger-diameter pistons than the road-biased ranges, and spring rates pitched for stage pace rather than commuting. The shock bodies use a 32-step external adjuster controlling rebound and low-speed compression together, so a single click moves both in a coordinated way. Spring rates are selected per chassis with a bias toward higher front rates on heavy-nosed platforms; on the MG4, that helps counter the battery’s downward pull on the front axle under braking. Pillow-ball upper mounts come as standard, as does ride-height adjustment via the lower mount rather than the spring perch – which preserves available shock stroke regardless of how low you sit the car. Camber-adjustable top mounts are fitted where the chassis geometry permits.

Fitment for the Mg(名爵) MG4 (2022-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the MG05 chassis MG4, model years 2022 through 2026. Mounting points, strut lengths and spring rates are matched to the MG4’s MacPherson-strut front and multi-link rear, and to the kerb weight that the battery pack adds over a conventional hatch. No universal-fit compromises.
