XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Nissan NOTE E12 2012-2026

The NOTE E12’s appeal in sealed tarmac rally comes down to its combination of low weight and front-wheel-drive simplicity – but the factory suspension was calibrated for urban ride comfort, not asphalt stage work. On a mixed-surface tarmac stage, the soft OEM damping allows enough body roll and dive to shift the front axle’s load distribution unpredictably, blunting the commitment you need at a gravel-contaminated hairpin exit.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Nissan NOTE E12 addresses that directly. Built from XYZ’s sealed-stage rally programme, this is a competition-spec suspension system that works with the E12’s lightweight FWD layout rather than fighting it – giving you meaningful control over geometry and damping on the stages where class wins are genuinely within reach for this chassis.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2026 Nissan NOTE E12

On an FWD car, managing the front axle under braking and turn-in defines everything – it separates a planted, steerable NOTE from one that pushes wide and haemorrhages time. The Tarmac Rally kit’s damping is calibrated for the energy inputs of uneven tarmac surfaces, where large isolated bumps mid-corner can momentarily unload a front tyre and kill traction at the worst possible moment. By controlling rebound more precisely, the coilover maintains contact through compressions that would unsettle the standard setup entirely. Body pitch and roll are suppressed more effectively than the production dampers allow, which tightens response accuracy on fast, flowing stage roads where small deviations compound quickly.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally damper line was developed from direct sealed-stage competition experience, and the settings reflect that lineage rather than a theoretical compromise. Unlike a multi-purpose coilover attempting to balance daily driving against occasional circuit use, the Tarmac Rally specification is single-minded: traction and body control on imperfect asphalt, where a stage surface can switch from smooth new tarmac to patched, broken road within a single corner sequence. The dampers are built to absorb large single-hit impacts without transmitting that shock load through to the body, then recover quickly enough to be ready for the next input. Tyre contact – keeping rubber on the road through rippled and uneven pavement – is the overriding design priority. Every setting in this kit traces back to XYZ Racing’s own staged competition programme rather than a road-car adaptation.
