XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Ford FOCUS ST HATCHBACK (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2019-2026

Ford’s Mk4 Focus ST is available from the factory with adaptive electronic dampers, tuned around a firm road mode and a softer comfort setting – neither built to survive a sealed-stage tarmac rally’s crests, mid-corner compressions and unmarked surface changes. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Focus ST hatchback replaces that system entirely, and this fitment’s cancellation kit stops the car’s ECU flagging a fault once the factory damper wiring is disconnected.

This isn’t a fast-road spring-and-shock kit wearing a rally label. The valving and spring rates come from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, set up for a front-driven hatch that needs to stay planted through a compression without getting thrown off line by the crest that follows it.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Ford Focus ST

On a Focus ST built for stage work, the first difference you’ll feel is how load transfers under braking into a corner – instead of the nose diving and unsettling the rest of the turn, the damping controls that transition and keeps the front tyres loaded. Over the surface breaks and hard edges a stage throws up at speed, the shock absorbs the initial hit rather than passing it straight into the chassis, so the car stays composed instead of skipping wide. Because a front-wheel-drive Focus ST puts most of its cornering and traction load through the front axle, holding that contact patch steady over bumps is what actually gets the power down out of a hairpin. The goal here isn’t a single quick lap – it’s a chassis that holds its line and its composure across a full stage, corner after unpredictable corner.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is built around one job: dealing with a stage surface that’s rarely as clean as a circuit. Where a track-day set-up can assume a consistent, swept surface, this damper is calibrated for broken edges, camber changes and hard-edged bumps, absorbing the impact rather than transmitting the full force of the hit into the body. That control matters most in the instant after the impact – suppressing the secondary shock through the chassis so the tyre stays loaded and keeps finding grip instead of skipping across the surface. Vehicle stability through that sequence is what actually delivers the handling a stage car needs, rather than outright single-corner grip. The settings applied here come directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally racing experience, not a fast-road base turned up, and for the Focus ST specifically that means a set-up that copes with the car’s weight transfer under trail-braking into a stage corner without losing the front axle’s grip on the way out.

Fitment for the Ford Focus ST (2019-2026)

This kit is built for the Ford Focus ST hatchback, chassis code FO29-C, covering the 2019-2026 model run with the rear suspension’s modified, integrated mounting points. Because this generation of Focus ST can be specified with adaptive electronic dampers, this fitment includes the cancellation kit needed to remove that system and run XYZ Racing’s manual damping without triggering a dashboard fault.
