XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Skoda OCTAVIA 5E SEDAN φ55 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) 2013-2019

The 5E Octavia’s rear multi-link axle was tuned by Skoda for ride comfort and quiet motorway miles, not for the compression loads a sealed-stage tarmac rally throws at it over broken apex kerbs and mid-corner crests. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover replaces that compliance-first geometry with a damper built specifically to control wheel movement when the road surface stops cooperating.

This is a stage-focused setup for the Octavia 5E Sedan Φ55, not a fast-road comfort kit. It’s built for drivers running the car on closed tarmac stages or circuit events where the suspension needs to absorb repeated large hits without the body pitching and the tyre losing contact with the road.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2019 Skoda Octavia

Tarmac rally surfaces rarely stay flat for long – mid-stage crests, patched repairs and cambered village roads all load the front and rear axles unevenly, and a stock 5E damper struggles to recover fast enough between hits. This kit is valved to absorb a big compression event, then settle the body rather than let it continue to move after the impact, which keeps the contact patch loaded through the next input. On the 5E’s Φ55 rear multi-link axle specifically, that translates into less axle patter over broken surfaces and a rear end that stays planted under trail-braking into tighter stage corners. The result on your Octavia is a chassis that keeps working through a full stage rather than degrading after the first few rough sections.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Tarmac Rally damper around one job: soaking up the impact of uneven, broken pavement without unsettling the car. The valving is built to absorb a big hit – a pothole edge, a stage-repair ridge, a sharp compression – and suppress the resulting body shock rather than transmit it straight into the chassis, which in turn keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded and its traction intact through the following corner. Every setting on this damper comes directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, not a generic road-car baseline adapted after the fact. The intent throughout is stability under load – a car that holds its line and its composure when the surface stops being predictable, rather than one that merely rides well on a smooth road. That construction and calibration is what separates a rally-specific damper from a fast-road coilover wearing a stiffer spring.
