XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Porsche CAYMAN 718 (982) GT4 RS 2022-2026

The 982 GT4 RS carries its 4.0-litre flat-six behind the cockpit, and that mass sits low and just ahead of the rear axle. Lift off mid-corner and the car pivots quickly around that weight – manageable on billiard-smooth circuit tarmac, less forgiving over the cracked, cambered and patched surfaces a closed tarmac rally stage throws up. The factory dampers are tuned for the former, not the latter.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover for the Cayman 718 GT4 RS is built for exactly that gap – a kit that keeps the wheel loaded and tracking through stage-surface imperfections rather than skipping across them. It’s the spec for drivers running sealed-stage tarmac rally events in a GT4 RS, where control over broken and undulating surfaces matters more than a single clean circuit lap.

What this coilover does for your 2022-2026 Porsche Cayman 718 (982) GT4 RS

Fit this kit and the first thing you’ll notice is how the rear end settles over broken tarmac instead of skating – the added compliance keeps the rear tyres loaded through compressions and crests, where a circuit-biased setup would unweight the axle and let that rear-engine mass step out. Damping calibrated for repeat impacts rather than a single smooth-track hit means the GT4 RS stays composed running the same stage section on a second or third pass, once ruts and camber changes have already been cut into the surface by the cars ahead. Ride height adjustment lets you set stage clearance without giving up the geometry the 982 chassis needs to turn in cleanly, and the extra control over big hits puts more of the flat-six’s power down through mid-corner bumps instead of losing it to a skipping tyre.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is a damper built specifically for the demands of closed-road tarmac rally surfaces, which are rougher and more broken than typical circuit tarmac. Where a circuit-only damper is calibrated for one clean line of high-frequency, low-amplitude inputs, this unit is tuned to absorb larger, harsher impacts – the pavement heave, patch repairs and mid-corner bumps that define a rally stage – without punching that shock straight into the chassis. Controlling that impact keeps the tyre in contact with the road rather than letting it skip off the surface, which is where the extra traction and stability actually come from. Every setting on this kit is drawn from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally experience rather than adapted from a circuit damper after the fact, so the compliance and control are matched to stage driving from the outset.
