XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — MG ZS 2023-2026

The MG ZS in its third-generation MG03 guise is a tall, front-driven crossover with a relatively soft factory setup tuned for supermarket runs and motorway cruising – exactly the brief that gets exposed the moment you point one down a damp B-road or a stage road with cambered hairpins. Body roll arrives early, the nose tucks late, and the standard dampers run out of ideas long before the Cooper tyres do.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built to flip that character. It gives the 2023-2026 ZS the spring rates and damping authority needed for sealed-surface rally stages and fast road work, while keeping enough travel that the car remains usable when the surface goes patchy.

What this coilover does for your 2023-2026 Mg(名爵) ZS

Fitting the Tarmac Rally kit changes the ZS from a soft hatch-on-stilts into something that loads its outside front predictably. Spring rates step up substantially over OE, which kills the slow roll-on that makes the standard car feel reluctant to commit. Pillowball top mounts replace the rubber items, so steering inputs reach the wheel without the rubbery delay that blunts mid-corner correction. The 30-way damping adjustment lets you separate compression behaviour over kerbs and patched tarmac from the rebound that controls weight transfer back to the nose. Ride-height adjustment on the lower bracket means you can drop the centre of gravity without pre-loading the spring, preserving the travel the front axle needs when it crests then dives into a corner.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

Tarmac Rally sits in the XYZ Racing range as the sealed-stage specialist – stiffer than the Super Sport fast-road kit, but with longer effective stroke than the Circuit Master so that bumps, kerbs and surface changes mid-corner do not unload the tyre. Construction is monotube with a large-bore piston, which keeps damping linear as oil temperature climbs across a long stage. Springs are matched to the chassis weight and front-bias of the MG03 rather than borrowed off a different platform, and the camber-adjustable pillowball tops let you find static camber without spacers or eccentric bushes. The 30-way damping dial covers the working range from public-road compliant to stage-stiff in a single kit, so the same set of coilovers can do a Sunday blast and a closed-road stage without a rebuild.

Fitment for the Mg(名爵) ZS (2023-2026)

This kit is specific to the third-generation ZS on chassis code MG03, covering 2023 through 2026 production. It is supplied as a complete four-corner set with front and rear units matched to the factory mounting points, so installation uses the standard top-mount bolts and lower clevis location.
