XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Skoda KAROQ φ55 (Rear Twist-Beam Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2026

The Karoq’s twist-beam rear axle wasn’t built with stage work in mind, but the SK22-C chassis carries enough weight over that rear beam that uncontrolled rebound turns a fast tarmac section into a car that skips sideways over crests. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built to keep that beam loaded and predictable when the road surface stops cooperating.

For a Karoq running electronically-damped suspension from the factory, this kit includes the cancellation piece needed to remove the OE electronic damping control cleanly, so the car reverts to straightforward passive damping without fault codes or dashboard warnings nagging at you mid-stage.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Skoda Karoq

Fitted to the Φ55 chassis, the damper absorbs the shock of broken tarmac and mid-corner ridges rather than transmitting it straight into the twist-beam and cabin. That matters on a car this size and weight – uncontrolled rear impact harshness on a heavier crossover platform shows up as the rear stepping out over bumps mid-corner, and this unit is calibrated to suppress that body shock so the tyre stays loaded and gripping instead of skipping. The cancellation kit means you get this behaviour without the electronic damping system fighting the new hardware or throwing errors. Ride height and damping are adjustable, so you can set the Karoq up for a given stage’s surface rather than living with one compromise setting for every event.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Tarmac Rally damper specifically for sealed-stage tarmac work, where surface changes happen faster than the driver can react to them. The valving is set to soak up big hits – pavement joints, mid-corner ridges, sudden camber changes – without the body kicking back and unsettling the chassis. That control keeps the tyre’s contact patch working instead of skipping across the surface after every impact, which is where tarmac rally cars actually lose or find grip. The settings on this unit come directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme rather than a generic road-spring baseline, so the damping curve is built around repeated hard hits over a stage rather than a single pothole on a commute. Construction and adjustment range follow XYZ Racing’s coilover platform, letting the rear end respond consistently as stage conditions change.

Fitment for the Skoda Karoq (2017-2026)

This kit is built for the Skoda Karoq Φ55 chassis, code SK22-C, covering the 2017-2026 model range fitted with the rear twist-beam suspension layout. It’s specified as the cancellation-kit variant, so it’s intended for Karoq models built with electronic damping control from the factory.
