XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Toyota CELICA ST205 GT4 4WD (Fr Welding) 1993-1999

The ST205 GT4’s homologation-spec 4WD platform was built for one job: stringing together fast, loose-surface stages without the chassis losing its composure between crests and compressions. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is set up for exactly that discipline, tuned to keep the turbocharged Celica planted through the transition from a cambered hairpin into a flat-out straight rather than for a static ride height in a car park.

This is a sealed-stage tarmac rally application, not a fast-road or circuit spec. Damping and spring rates are set from XYZ’s own stage experience, aimed at controlling a car that’s carrying full fuel, a co-driver and pace notes while the road surface keeps changing underneath it.

What this coilover does for your 1993-1999 Toyota Celica ST205 GT4 4WD

On a stage car the biggest enemy isn’t outright grip, it’s a wheel losing contact with an uneven road for a fraction of a second. This kit is built to absorb that impact rather than transmit it, so the ST205’s all-wheel-drive system keeps finding traction over crests, compressions and patched tarmac instead of skating across them. The damper controls body shock through those hits, which keeps the chassis settled enough that the driveline isn’t loading and unloading violently mid-corner. Because the GT4’s weight sits on a 4WD drivetrain with a turbocharged engine up front, the setup is calibrated to manage that extra mass through direction changes without the nose diving or the rear stepping out unpredictably. The result on stage is a car that holds its line as the surface changes, rather than one that needs constant correction.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally range is built specifically for sealed-surface stage work, where the road stays paved but rarely stays flat. The damper is calibrated to soak up impacts from uneven tarmac, big compressions and patched sections without kicking that energy back into the chassis, which is what causes a rally car to skip rather than track through a bump. That control over body shock is also what keeps tyre contact consistent, since a chassis that’s pitching and rolling under impact is losing traction at the exact moment it needs it most. The valving and spring rates are drawn from XYZ’s own tarmac rally racing experience rather than a generic fast-road base, so behaviour under stage-pace hits is the priority, not comfort at a standstill. It’s a setup built around stability first, on the basis that a driver who trusts the car’s composure over broken tarmac can actually use the grip on offer instead of driving around the suspension’s limits.

Confirmed for the Toyota Celica ST205 GT4 4WD, chassis code TO22, across the 1993 to 1999 production run. This fitment is listed as a front-welding (Fr Welding) application, meaning the front top mount is a weld-in fit rather than a bolt-in one, so factor that into your install plan before ordering. Check your specific ST205 build against these details before purchase.
