XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Honda CITY GM 2013-2019

The GM-generation Honda CITY is a lightweight front-driver with a tall, narrow body and a soft factory damper tune built for kerbed urban roads – not for committing a saloon to a sealed tarmac stage with broken cambers and mid-corner compressions. The Tarmac Rally coilover is the answer to that exact mismatch: a sealed-surface rally damper that lets a small Honda saloon stay flat, planted and steerable when the road surface stops cooperating.

Drop these under a 2013-2019 CITY GM and the chassis stops fighting itself over rough tarmac. Bump strikes are absorbed instead of pitching the nose, the inside-front loses less grip on exit, and the front tyres stay loaded through compressions where the standard car would skip and wash wide.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Honda CITY

The Tarmac Rally is built to suppress body shock the instant a wheel meets a broken surface, so a light front-driver like the CITY GM keeps its contact patches working instead of unloading. You get noticeably more traction on corner exit over patchy tarmac, calmer turn-in on bumpy braking zones, and a chassis that no longer crashes through the worst inputs the road throws at it. The damping has been tuned in rally conditions, which means the ride is firm and purposeful but not brittle – the car still settles between bumps rather than skating across them. For a CITY built up for trackdays, stage rally regularity runs, or hard road use on bad British surfaces, the gains in composure are immediate.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s sealed-stage damper, developed specifically to soak up the kind of repeat hits a tarmac rally stage delivers – broken edges, sunken ironwork, mid-corner ridges and the sort of jolt that pitches a softer setup into the rebound stops. Internally it is set up to absorb impacts across larger bumps without unsettling the body, suppressing shock through the chassis so the tyres can keep transmitting load to the road. Every spring rate, valving choice and pre-load window has come out of XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, which is why the settings feel resolved rather than approximate. The intent is straightforward: keep the body stable, keep tyre traction high, and give the driver a predictable platform when the surface is the variable.
