XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E SEDAN φ50 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2019

The 5E Octavia’s multi-link rear axle sets this fitment apart from the torsion-beam cars further down the range, and it’s the reason this Tarmac Rally coilover kit is supplied with a cancellation kit for the factory electronic damping system. Fit manual coilovers to a car that left the factory with electronically controlled dampers and the ECU needs telling that the old hardware is gone, or it will flag a fault. Get that sorted and the multi-link geometry is worth keeping and setting up properly rather than working around.

This is a stage car damper, built for sealed-stage tarmac rally rather than a fast-road compromise. On the Octavia 5E it’s aimed at absorbing the ridges, camber changes and mid-corner surface breaks that closed tarmac stages throw up, keeping the rear axle loaded through repeated hits instead of skating sideways over them.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia 5E Sedan

Fitted to a 2013-2019 Octavia 5E Sedan, the Tarmac Rally kit’s job is to keep the tyre’s contact patch working when the road surface stops being smooth. Uneven pavement and sharp bumps get absorbed at the damper rather than transmitted through the multi-link rear into the body, which matters on stage work where you’re carrying speed over broken tarmac rather than a clean racing line. Suppressing that shock at the wheel keeps the tyre loaded and gripping instead of skipping, and with the electronic damping cancellation kit fitted, the car’s systems stop fighting the change and let the manual damper do the work. The result on a 5E Sedan is a car that holds its line and its traction through repeated big hits, not just one clean corner.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally line specifically around stage-surface abuse: broken, uneven tarmac taken at speed rather than a smooth circuit line. The damper is set up to absorb the impact of rough pavement and soak up the jolt when the car crosses a bigger bump, controlling body shock so the tyre keeps its traction instead of losing contact. That control is what underpins the stability owners are actually chasing on a rally stage, where the car needs to hold its intended line through a sequence of hits rather than just one. The damping settings on this Tarmac Rally kit come directly from XYZ’s own tarmac rally racing programme rather than a generic road-going calibration, which is the point of specifying a stage-specific coilover over a fast-road part in the first place.

Fitment for the Skoda Octavia 5E Sedan Φ50 (2013-2019)

This kit is built for the Skoda Octavia 5E Sedan, chassis code SK16-C, across the 2013-2019 production run, specifically the Φ50 rear multi-link suspension variant. Because this fitment covers cars originally equipped with electronically controlled dampers, it’s supplied with the cancellation kit needed to remove the factory electronic damping control when you switch to manual coilovers. Confirm your Octavia has the multi-link rear axle before ordering, since torsion-beam 5E cars use a different rear-suspension design and are not covered by this kit.
