XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Porsche 992 CARRERA-4/S CABRIOLET (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2019-2026

Taking a 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet to a gravel stage isn’t a conventional choice – the all-wheel drive hardware adds mass, the folding roof mechanism adds more, and the factory PASM system was calibrated for clean tarmac, not surfaces that alternate between sandstone, snow, and silt every few hundred metres. The Gravel Rally coilover from XYZ Racing is built for exactly that environment: a hardware-led solution that replaces the electronic compromise with a mechanically resolved spring and damper package.

The Cabriolet’s body is inherently less torsionally rigid than the 992 coupe, which means damper quality becomes more significant the moment the road turns rough. Long-stroke construction and specifically validated spring rates give the chassis the compliance it needs where the standard setup would be overwhelmed within the first competitive section.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2026 Porsche 992 CARRERA-4/S CABRIOLET

Inverted tube construction positions the main cylinder mass lower in the strut assembly, which contributes to unsprung weight distribution and improves the unit’s resistance to contamination from fine silt and particulate matter thrown up at speed. The long-stroke damper travel absorbs the sharp, high-speed compressions that loose stage surfaces deliver – the inputs that push a road-biased unit hard against its bump stops. For the AWD Carrera-4/S, extended suspension travel also keeps the drive torque distributed across four contact patches rather than interrupted by chassis deflection during aggressive compressions. The PASM cancellation kit removes the variable-stiffness feedback loop that the factory electronics generate when encountering inputs they were never mapped to handle – at speed on gravel, that interference is a liability.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

The Gravel Rally is XYZ Racing’s specialist construction for the most demanding surface in motorsport. Rally cross events present the most aggressive road conditions in competition use, making the shock absorber the single most critical component for stage-to-stage consistency. XYZ Racing developed an inverted tube design to address the variety of conditions found across rally competition – sandstone, snow, and silt each place different demands on damper construction, and the inverted layout gains better lateral load capacity alongside reduced ingress risk from fine particulate matter. Long-stroke geometry combined with a longer spring enables the assembly to absorb chassis vibration, handle the forceful inputs from a high-speed bouncy road, and bear the extreme lateral G-forces produced in gravel-surface cornering. Spring rate specifications across the Gravel Rally range have been tested and validated through active rally racing competition, not derived from road-car data with revised valving applied afterwards.

Fitment for the Porsche 992 CARRERA-4/S CABRIOLET (2019-2026)

This specification is built for the Porsche 992 Carrera-4/S Cabriolet with hydraulic front lift, chassis code PO27-C, covering the production run from 2019 to 2026. The kit includes a cancellation solution for the factory PASM electronic damping control – Porsche’s variable-stiffness system must be bypassed before aftermarket dampers can operate correctly. Buyers on the standard 992 coupe, non-lift variants, or rear-wheel-drive Carrera models will require a separate fitment specification.
