XYZ Racing Gravel Rally Coilovers — Subaru IMPREZA GE/GH/GR/GB (TYPE 1) 2WD/4WD 2007-2014

Gravel stages punish a suspension in ways tarmac never will, and the GR/GV-era Impreza was born to take that punishment. This XYZ Racing Gravel Rally coilover for the 2007-2014 Subaru Impreza is built around the loose-surface job: keeping all four tyres loaded over ruts, crests and washboard while the symmetrical all-wheel-drive system puts the power down.

Where a tarmac kit chases body control, a gravel kit chases compliance and travel. This set runs long-stroke dampers and long, soft springs so the chassis can soak up high-speed impacts rather than skip across them, with rates that XYZ Racing’s rally team has signed off on the stage.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2014 Subaru IMPREZA GE/GH/GR/GB (TYPE 1) 2WD/4WD

Bolt this onto your Impreza and the first thing you feel is the extra usable travel. The long-stroke design lets the wheels follow the surface instead of bouncing off it, so grip holds through compressions where a stiffer road setup would unload and step out. The inverted tube layout puts the stronger, larger-diameter tube up top to resist the side loads that gravel berms and ruts throw at the damper. Soft, long springs absorb chassis vibration on broken surfaces and keep the contact patch working when you load the car hard into a loose corner. For a 2WD or 4WD Impreza used in anger off the black stuff, that translates to a car you can carry speed in over terrain that would unsettle a fast-road coilover.

About the Gravel Rally coilover

The Gravel Rally coilover is a specialist damper aimed squarely at rally and rallycross use, where the surface is the most aggressive thing the car ever meets. XYZ Racing treats the shock absorber as the single most important component on a gravel stage, and the design reflects that. The inverted tube construction is engineered to cope with a spread of loose conditions, from sandstone and silt to snow, each of which loads the damper differently. Long stroke and long springs are the core of the recipe: they let the suspension absorb chassis vibration, attack high-speed undulating roads without deflecting, and stand up to the extreme cornering G-forces a rally car generates when it changes direction on a low-grip surface. Every spring rate in the kit has been validated by XYZ Racing’s rally team rather than chosen from a catalogue.
