XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Skoda SUPERB B6 4WD φ55 2008-2015

The Superb B6’s Haldex-coupled 4WD platform was built for towing and motorway miles, not sealed-stage pace notes – but the chassis underneath is more capable than its saloon-and-estate brief suggests. Stiffer, well-controlled damping changes what that platform can do when the road surface turns to broken tarmac and gravel-edged B-roads, the exact conditions this Tarmac Rally kit is built around.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover for the Superb B6 4WD φ55 is set up for exactly that use case: sealed-stage and closed-road tarmac rally work where the car needs to shrug off big hits without losing the driver’s read on the road. This isn’t a fast-road comfort spec – it’s a damper calibrated for repeated, hard compression events.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2015 Skoda Superb B6

On a car this size and weight, uneven surfaces load the dampers hard through direction changes, and the Tarmac Rally valving is built to absorb those impacts without the body pitching or the rear axle stepping out of line. Big-hit compliance matters here: a bump mid-corner on a rally stage can unsettle a 4WD saloon quickly, and this damper is tuned to soak up that shock rather than transmit it straight into the chassis. That control keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded more consistently through the impact, which is where the traction actually comes from on loose or broken surfaces. The φ55 body diameter gives the shim stack the room to manage that load without ballooning heat under sustained stage use, and the height-adjustable coilover format lets you set ride height to suit stage clearance and corner weight without touching the spring rate you’ve chosen.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally damper specifically for stages run on broken, uneven pavement rather than the smooth circuit surfaces most road-going coilovers are tuned around. The valving is set to soak up hard, sudden impacts – kerbs, potholes, camber changes – without letting that energy translate into body shock, which is the main threat to composure on a rally stage. That impact absorption also does double duty for tyre traction: keeping the contact patch settled after a big hit is what lets the car keep putting power down rather than skating over the surface. XYZ describes the resulting feel as vehicle stability that lets the driver read the car properly through the corner, and the settings baked into this kit come directly from XYZ’s own Tarmac Rally programme rather than a generic road-car base tune.
