XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E SEDAN φ55 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2019

The Octavia 5E’s rear multi-link suspension is the more capable of the two rear layouts Skoda fitted to this generation, and it is the one that makes a serious rally build possible: real independent camber and toe control at each corner, rather than the fixed wheel relationship of a torsion beam. Where the standard car pairs that hardware with electronically controlled adaptive dampers, this kit is supplied with a cancellation solution that removes the factory electronic damping circuit from the equation, so the driver – not a control module – decides how the car reacts on loose surfaces.

XYZ Racing’s Pro Rally coilover is built around stage work rather than fast-road driving: gravel, snow and mixed-surface events where wheel travel, ride height and spring rate all need setting up for reduced and inconsistent traction. On the Octavia 5E Sedan that means a kit engineered to soak up rutted, cratered gravel while keeping the multi-link rear geometry doing its job through direction changes, rather than a road setup pushed past its limits.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

With the electronic damping circuit cancelled, damping response on the Octavia stops being a compromise dialled in for tarmac comfort and becomes a fixed, mechanical setting chosen for the stage in front of you. Spring rate and ride height are set for impact absorption rather than outright grip, so landings off crests and compressions through rutted sections load the suspension instead of the chassis. The multi-link rear retains its camber and toe control even at the extended wheel travel a rally build demands, which keeps the rear axle predictable when the surface changes mid-corner. Ground clearance can be raised over a fast-road coilover setup without giving up the geometry control that separates a proper rally car from a lifted road car, and turn-in response stays consistent from tarmac stages into gravel and back again.

About the Pro Rally coilover

XYZ Racing splits gravel and snow rally suspension into two distinct build types, and the Pro Rally sits in the professional category. The simpler route bolts a rally-spec coilover directly onto the original chassis mounting points, which is the amateur approach and keeps the car closer to standard. The professional route, which this kit is built for, is fitted after the car’s body has already been modified for competition – stronger mounting points, reworked arches and the wider suspension travel that dedicated rally cars need. That distinction matters because a coilover designed for a standard chassis will not survive the loads a modified rally shell puts through it, and vice versa: fitting a road-biased unit to a purpose-built rally shell wastes the chassis work already done. The Pro Rally is specified for the professional build, with the range and construction to match a car that has already been prepared for stage use.

Fitment for the Skoda Octavia 5E Sedan (2013-2019)

This kit is built specifically for the Octavia 5E Sedan, chassis code SK14-C, covering the 2013 to 2019 production run with the rear multi-link suspension layout. It includes the cancellation kit required where the car was originally fitted with electronic damping control, so the factory wiring for that system does not need to remain active for the coilover to function correctly.
