XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Porsche 992 CARRERA-4/S CABRIOLET (without hydraulic lift system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2019-2026

The 992’s rear-engine, all-wheel-drive layout creates a specific dynamic on sealed stages – rear-heavy and planted under power, but vulnerable to abrupt weight transfer over crests and broken tarmac that PASM was never calibrated to manage at competition speeds. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet (PO29-C, 2019-2026) replaces that electronically governed system entirely via the included cancellation kit, with a setup developed from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme.

Running a cabriolet on stages adds variables the coupe doesn’t carry. The folding roof mechanism and the structural reinforcement that compensates for the open body raise both total mass and centre of gravity, which makes spring and damper rates more consequential over the uneven surfaces – crests, compressions, mid-corner camber changes – that closed-road tarmac events routinely produce.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Porsche 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet

On a car where factory electronics normally dictate damper behaviour, switching to a mechanically set coilover fundamentally changes how the 992 communicates. The tarmac-rally-tuned valving absorbs the sharp jolt from sudden surface changes without transmitting it through the chassis body, which on a rear-engined, AWD platform translates directly into sustained rear traction and predictable front-end loading under braking. The cabriolet’s added structural mass is accommodated by spring rates drawn from actual rally-stage use rather than road-car compromise. With the hydraulic lift system removed from the equation, front geometry remains consistent across the full suspension travel range – important on a platform where ride-height consistency directly affects balance through the rear-biased weight distribution.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally designation marks this as a damper unit tuned specifically for sealed-stage competition, where the surface is nominally paved but riddled with compressions, crests, and surface breaks that closed-road events produce at speed. XYZ’s setup data comes from live tarmac rally competition – the specification reflects what actually works on a stage, not what the factory optimised for comfort at motorway speeds. The construction is designed to absorb the energy of significant surface impacts, converting that jolt into forward momentum rather than unsettling chassis pitch or heave. On a rear-engined car, keeping the tyres consistently loaded against the road surface is the primary variable in both cornering grip and braking stability, and the valving here is set with that priority in mind. The bundled cancellation kit overrides the 992’s standard PASM electronic damping control, allowing the coilover’s mechanical settings to govern behaviour without electronic intervention.

Fitment for the Porsche 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet (2019-2026)

This kit is built for the Porsche 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet, chassis code PO29-C, covering 2019 to 2026 model years. It is specified for cars without the optional hydraulic front-axle lift system, and the included electronic damping cancellation kit is required to deactivate the factory PASM setup. Confirm your car matches the cabriolet body style and is not fitted with the hydraulic lift before ordering.
