XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Subaru OUTBACK BS 4WD 2014-2019

The Outback BS 4WD carries taller factory suspension travel and a raised ride height than the Legacy it’s built from, which on a closed tarmac stage means more body movement transferring load off the inside wheels exactly when the 4WD system needs traction to put power down. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built around that specific problem: controlling a taller, heavier wagon body through repeated compressions on broken, uneven stage surfaces without the diff and subframe getting unsettled mid-corner.

This isn’t a fast-road spec dropped into a rally-sounding name. The damper tune is set up to absorb big hits – the kind of pavement break, pothole edge or camber change a closed stage throws at a 4WD wagon running at pace – while keeping the tyre loaded rather than skipping across the surface.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2019 Subaru Outback BS 4WD

Fitted to the BS 4WD, this kit changes how the car reacts the moment a wheel meets a mid-corner bump. The damper is tuned to soak up a big hit – a raised drain cover, a cracked stage edge, a sudden dip – without kicking the body sideways or unsettling the line you’re already committed to. That control keeps tyre contact patch pressed into the road rather than skittering, which on a 4WD platform translates directly into traction you can call on out of the corner. Suppressing body shock through the chassis also means the Outback’s higher factory ride height stops working against you: instead of wallowing through direction changes, the car settles and holds its line stage after stage.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally line specifically for sealed-surface stage work, where the damper has to deal with the constant low-grade violence of real road surfaces at speed rather than a smooth circuit. The valving is calibrated to absorb impact from uneven tarmac and larger surface breaks without transmitting that shock straight into the body, which is what keeps the tyre’s contact patch working instead of bouncing. The result is a chassis that stays stable and predictable under load, so the handling balance the driver feels stays consistent rather than shifting corner to corner. Every setting in this range comes directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, carried over rather than adapted from a track-day base tune – this is a damper built from stage mileage, not a lab spec.
