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

The 5E Octavia Wagon’s multi-link rear end was built to carry a boot full of gear over broken British B-roads, and that’s exactly where sealed-stage tarmac rally driving punishes a stock damper hardest – hard compressions off camber, mid-corner ruts, and the compromises a factory setup makes to stay comfortable. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover replaces that compromise with a damper tuned specifically for stage-speed abuse on broken surfaces.

This kit is built for the wagon body’s added mass over the rear axle and includes the cancellation kit needed to run fixed-rate damping where the 5E’s electronic suspension control would otherwise fight a non-OE damper. It’s the right spec if you’re prepping this Octavia for a tarmac rally stage rather than a track circuit – the tuning philosophy is different, and it shows in how the car settles after a bump rather than how it holds a smooth apex.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

Fitted to this chassis, the damper’s job is absorbing sharp inputs – potholes, crests, mid-stage compressions – without kicking the rear multi-link setup out of line or letting the body pitch into the next corner unsettled. That control keeps the tyre loaded and searching for grip on the kind of broken, low-grip surfaces tarmac rally throws at a car, rather than skipping across them. Ride height is adjustable through the coilover’s threaded body, so you can set stance and corner weight to suit stage or road use without touching spring rate. Because the cancellation kit removes the electronic damping conflict, the 5E’s dash stays clean and the suspension behaves exactly as the fixed valving intends – no fault codes second-guessing your setup mid-stage.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing engineers this damper specifically to absorb the impact of uneven pavement rather than smooth it over – the valving is calibrated to soak up big hits across a rough surface while suppressing the body movement that follows. That control is what keeps the tyre’s contact patch working: less unsettled shock through the chassis means more of the available traction actually reaches the road. The result is a car that holds its line through a stage rather than skating across each imperfection, with the settings drawn directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme rather than adapted from a road or circuit damper. On a wagon-bodied chassis like this Octavia, that rear-biased composure matters even more given the extra mass sitting over the rear axle.

Fitment for the Skoda OCTAVIA 5E WAGON (2013-2019)
