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

The Octavia 5E Wagon’s rear multi-link axle was tuned for load-carrying and motorway comfort, not for holding a consistent contact patch when a sealed-stage tarmac rally throws broken surfaces, mid-corner ruts and sudden camber changes at the car in quick succession. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover replaces that compliance-first geometry with a damper set specifically calibrated for stage work, so the wagon’s extra length and rear overhang stop working against the driver on rough, fast sections.

This kit is built for drivers who are taking a 5E Octavia into competitive tarmac events rather than just stiffening up a fast-road car. Because this variant includes the cancellation kit for electronic damping, cars that left the factory with adaptive dampers swap over to manually set, rally-calibrated valving without the dash throwing DCC faults – a detail that matters on a platform Skoda originally sold with electronic ride control as standard on higher trims.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

Across a broken tarmac special, the φ50 damper body works to absorb the impact of sharp edges and bigger compressions rather than transmitting them straight into the chassis, which keeps the rear multi-link settling instead of skipping. That control shows up directly as retained tyre traction over crests and mid-corner bumps, which on a nose-into-corner car like the Octavia Wagon is what actually lets you carry speed rather than lift off early. The suppression of shock-body movement also steadies the car’s attitude under transitions, so the wagon’s longer wheelbase stays predictable when you’re changing direction quickly between gates. With the electronic damping cancelled and replaced by a fixed rally-spec valve, the response is consistent stage after stage instead of drifting as an adaptive system hunts for a setting it was never designed to hold on gravel-adjacent tarmac.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is XYZ Racing’s damper for sealed-surface competition, built around the specific demand of absorbing repeated large-amplitude hits without the shock body losing composure. Internal valving is set to soak up the jolt from big compressions – kerbs, broken edges, crests taken at speed – while still controlling body movement enough to keep the tyre loaded and gripping rather than skipping across the surface. XYZ states the settings come directly from its own Tarmac Rally programme, and that competition background is reflected in a bias toward traction and stability over outright ride comfort. On the Octavia 5E, the φ50 body and rear multi-link-specific geometry are paired with the DCC cancellation kit so the car can run this valving cleanly, without the factory electronics fighting a fixed rally setup. The result is a damper built to keep the car settled and the tyre working through a full stage, not just a firmer version of a road coilover.
