XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda ACCORD CR 2013-2017

The CR-generation Accord arrived as a comfortable, long-legged saloon – softly sprung, generously damped, and tuned for motorway miles rather than apex hunting. Strip that brief away and ask the chassis to attack a sealed stage, and the standard setup runs out of body control long before the tyres run out of grip. The Tarmac Rally coilover is built for exactly that pivot: turning a 2013-2017 Accord CR into something that can be driven hard between hedges without folding under the first compression.

This is not a fast-road damper with rally branding. The valving is taken directly from XYZ Racing’s tarmac stage programme, where the priority is keeping a wide front-drive saloon planted over broken sealed surfaces and high-speed transitions.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2017 Honda Accord CR

The CR’s weight sits forward and high, and on standard dampers it telegraphs every mid-corner bump straight into understeer. The Tarmac Rally setup is built to soak that up: it absorbs the impact of uneven pavement, suppresses body movement when the car loads into a compression, and keeps the contact patch working when the surface is broken. The practical effect on a CR Accord is a front end that stops washing wide when you commit to a corner over poor tarmac, and a rear that stays settled rather than skipping sideways on mid-corner bumps. Traction off slower corners improves noticeably, which matters on a torquey front-driver that wants to scrub its inside front tyre. Brake stability over patched surfaces is the other big gain – the car stays straight under load instead of darting between cambers.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is engineered around one job: absorbing the jolt of big bumps without losing composure, then suppressing the shock through the body so the tyres can keep generating traction. The damping curves and spring rates are not lifted from a circuit catalogue – every setting carries over from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, where dampers are judged on how they behave the second time over a yump, not the first. The result is a coilover that prioritises wheel control over outright stiffness. Vehicle stability is the headline trait: the chassis stays predictable when the surface is not, which is what lets a driver lean on the car between stage notes. Construction follows XYZ Racing’s rally-spec damper architecture, with valving sized to handle the energy a 1.5-tonne saloon carries into a compression.
