XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda ACCORD CU1/2 6 CYL 2008-2012

Sealed-stage tarmac throws broken camber, patched surface repairs and unmarked compressions at a car with no warning, and the Accord CU1/2’s six-cylinder nose weight makes early, predictable front-end control non-negotiable the moment it happens. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Honda ACCORD CU1/2 6 CYL is specced around exactly that problem, carrying damping settings across from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme rather than a road-tuned Circuit Master build pressed into stage duty.

Where a fast-road kit is tuned to filter out a UK B-road, this one is tuned to keep the tyre loaded through a rutted apex and a blind crest at stage pace, on a car whose 6 CYL layout carries more mass over the front axle than the four-cylinder Accord.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2012 Honda ACCORD CU1/2 6 CYL

Fitted to the CU1/2, the kit’s first job is controlling the nose through mid-corner surface changes – patched drainage lines, off-camber sections, sudden compressions – without the six-cylinder car’s extra front weight pitching the chassis forward and washing out grip. Big hits get absorbed rather than transmitted straight into the body, which keeps the tyre’s contact patch working instead of skipping across broken tarmac. That translates directly into traction on corner exit, where a stage car needs the power down early, and into a more stable platform under braking into blind approaches. The result on the CU1/2 is a car that holds its line over a stage’s imperfections instead of reacting to every one of them.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ built the Tarmac Rally coilover specifically to cope with the uneven, unpredictable surfaces of closed rally stages rather than a smooth circuit. The damper is calibrated to absorb the impact of rough pavement and to soak up the jolt of a big compression without letting that energy carry straight through into the body, which keeps the chassis settled and the tyre’s contact patch consistent through a corner. That control is what delivers the traction and stability the type is built around – a car that turns in and holds its line predictably rather than one that’s fighting the road surface. The tune isn’t generic: it’s drawn from XYZ’s own tarmac rally racing experience, carried over into the settings on every kit rather than adapted from a track or road spec after the fact.

Fitment for the Honda ACCORD CU1/2 6 CYL (2008-2012)

This kit is built for chassis code HN09 – the six-cylinder Honda ACCORD CU1/2, produced across the 2008 to 2012 model years. It’s matched specifically to the 6 CYL variant’s front-end weight, not the four-cylinder CU1/2, so check your engine spec against your logbook before ordering.
