XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Infiniti EX35 4WD (Modified Rear Integrated) 2007-2012

The EX35’s raised crossover stance sits noticeably higher than the G37 saloon it shares its FM platform with, and on loose gravel that extra ride height and shifted centre of gravity translate into more body roll and pitch under braking and turn-in unless the dampers are built for the surface rather than tarmac.

XYZ Racing’s Gravel Rally coilover is the type built for exactly that discipline: a long-stroke, long-spring damper aimed at rally and rally cross stages, matched here to the EX35’s modified rear-integrated suspension mounting so the rear axle stays controlled over rutted, broken ground rather than just smooth asphalt.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2012 Infiniti EX35 4WD (Modified Rr Integrated)

On a gravel stage the EX35’s V6-forward weight distribution and taller crossover body want to pitch hard under braking and squat under throttle. The long-stroke damper and matching long spring in this kit are sized to soak up that travel without the chassis bottoming out over compressions. The inverted tube layout keeps the working seals higher up and away from thrown stones, sand and silt, which matters on a car that was never designed with rally-spec ground clearance in mind. Through fast, bumpy sections the extended stroke absorbs repeated high-frequency vibration instead of feeding it straight into the modified rear-integrated mounts, and the spring rates are set up to hold the EX35 flat enough under cornering load that the diff and rear subframe aren’t left doing all the work on their own.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Gravel Rally coilover for rally and rally cross specifically, on the basis that a gravel stage is the roughest surface any of their dampers has to survive, which makes the shock absorber the single most stressed component on a rally car. The tube is inverted rather than conventional, a layout chosen so the damper keeps working consistently as the ground underfoot changes from loose sandstone to snow-pack to fine silt within the same stage. Stroke length and spring length are both extended well beyond a road or track set-up, which lets the unit absorb chassis vibration on its own terms rather than transmit it, soak up hard hits from high-speed bouncy sections, and carry the extreme cornering loads a gravel stage generates. Spring rates on this kit were set using data from an actual rally racing programme rather than a bench estimate.
