XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Skoda KODIAQ 4WD φ55 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

A Kodiaq built for sealed-stage tarmac work has to deal with a problem most rally cars don’t: it’s tall, it’s heavy, and depending on trim it left the factory with adaptive electronic dampers that expect motorway compliance, not a stage note calling for "flat in fourth, crest, don’t lift." XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover kit replaces that factory damping logic entirely, and this specific SKU bundles the cancellation module needed to shut down the Kodiaq’s electronic damping control so the manual dampers can do their job without the car’s own ECU fighting them.

For 4WD Kodiaq owners running φ55-spec fitment, that matters because a big SUV body rolling and pitching mid-stage costs you traction through the Haldex system before it ever costs you outright grip. This kit is built to keep the chassis flat enough, over consecutive rough-tarmac hits, that the drivetrain can actually use the power it’s sending to all four corners.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Skoda Kodiaq 4WD Φ55

Fitted to the Kodiaq, the kit’s primary job is absorbing the hit from broken tarmac and mid-corner bumps without transmitting that shock straight into the body shell – something a 1.6-tonne-plus SUV feels more than a hatchback does. Suppressing that shock keeps the tyre in contact with the road for longer through a rough section, which on a 4WD platform translates directly into usable traction out of the corner rather than a Haldex system scrabbling to redistribute torque mid-slide. Because the electronic damping cancellation is built into this SKU, the coilovers set the damping curve on their own terms rather than being overridden every time the Kodiaq’s factory control unit tries to soften or firm the ride. The net result on this specific car is a taller-bodied SUV that settles faster after a jump or crest and holds a more predictable line through stage-speed direction changes.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally line is set up specifically for sealed-stage tarmac events rather than gravel or circuit work, and the damping is tuned to soak up the repeated, sharp-edged impacts that broken and patched tarmac stages throw at a car – potholes, camber changes, and mid-corner ridges rather than smooth circuit kerbs. The construction is built to take a hard, direct hit without the body kicking back at the driver, which is the difference between a car that stays composed over a crest and one that skips sideways. Damping settings are carried over from XYZ’s own Tarmac Rally competition programme rather than derived from road-car defaults, so the response under a sudden bump is tuned for stage conditions specifically. The stated aim of the range is straightforward: keep the tyre loaded and the chassis stable so the driver isn’t fighting the car every time the road surface changes underneath it.

Fitment for the Skoda Kodiaq 4WD Φ55 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2016-2026)

This kit is built for the Skoda Kodiaq 4WD, chassis code SK25-C, covering the 2016 to 2026 model range in φ55 strut-diameter specification. The cancellation kit for electronic damping is included specifically for Kodiaq variants fitted with factory adaptive dampers, so the manual coilover damping runs independently of the car’s own damper control electronics.
