XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Subaru BRZ 2012-2021

The first-generation Subaru BRZ was built around a flat-four sitting low and far back in the nose, giving it a centre of gravity and a chassis balance most cars in its class never had. The catch is that the factory dampers run short of body control the moment the road turns to patched, cambered, broken tarmac. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Subaru BRZ is built for exactly that surface: sealed special stages, ragged B-roads, and the kind of compressions and crests that unsettle a stiffer setup.

This is not a fast-road soft tune wearing a motorsport label. The Tarmac Rally specification keeps the BRZ’s modest factory rubber loaded and working over surfaces that would skip a rigid track damper sideways, trading some outright platform stiffness for the compliance a rally car needs to put its naturally aspirated power down out of a bumpy second-gear hairpin.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2021 Subaru BRZ

On a 2012-2021 Subaru BRZ, the gain you feel first is traction on a surface you did not trust before. The damping is tuned to soak up sharp inputs – kerbs, drain covers, mid-corner ruts – so the contact patch stays planted instead of unloading and scrabbling. That keeps the rear axle predictable on the throttle, which matters on a car this happy to rotate. You also get a settled, composed body over crests and compressions, so the BRZ stays pointed and stable where a harder track coilover would deflect off-line. The result is more usable pace on imperfect roads, with a ride that punishes the surface rather than the driver.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is a damper developed specifically for sealed-stage rally use rather than billiard-smooth circuits. It is engineered to absorb the impact of uneven pavement and the heavy jolt that comes from hitting a big bump at speed, suppressing the shock that would otherwise be fed into the bodyshell. By controlling that energy rather than transmitting it, the damper keeps the tyre pressed into the road and increases the traction available when the surface is anything but flat. That control also translates into genuine high-speed stability, so the car feels secure and consistent through fast, broken sections. Every setting in the kit comes from XYZ Racing’s own Tarmac Rally competition experience, so the valving and spring choices reflect what has actually worked on stage rather than a generic catalogue tune.
