XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Toyota FT86 / GT86 2012-2021

Sealed-stage tarmac rallying is unforgiving of a chassis that skips and skates over broken, cambered surfaces, and the Toyota GT86 arrives with only modest naturally-aspirated torque from its low-set FA20 boxer – which means putting the rear axle’s grip down cleanly matters far more here than outright power ever will. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for exactly that environment.

This is the rally-specific damper in the XYZ range, valved to soak up the jolts of a real stage while keeping the GT86’s famously balanced platform planted. Where a fast-road kit chases stance and a circuit kit chases flat body control on smooth tarmac, this one is set up to keep the tyres loaded over crests, kerbs and patched surfaces.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2021 Toyota FT86 / GT86

You feel it most where the GT86 was always nervous – over mid-corner bumps and surface changes that used to unsettle its light tail. The Tarmac Rally valving absorbs the impact of uneven pavement so the rear stays in contact and tractable, letting you lean on the throttle earlier out of a stage hairpin instead of catching a slide. Big single hits – a kerb, a drainage channel, a compression on the exit of a crest – are damped rather than fired straight into the shell, which protects both the car and your commitment. The result is more usable tyre traction and a more stable, more predictable platform that complements the GT86’s already-sharp turn-in.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is engineered around one job: managing impact on sealed but imperfect rally surfaces. Its damping is tuned to absorb the shock of uneven pavement and to take the sting out of larger hits – the jolt a stage car meets over big bumps and broken edges – so that energy is suppressed before it reaches the bodyshell. By controlling that movement, the damper keeps the tyre pressed into the road for longer, and that is where the traction and stability gains come from. XYZ Racing developed these settings from its own Tarmac Rally competition experience rather than softening a generic road kit, so the spring and damper behaviour reflects what a sealed-stage car genuinely needs. Expect compliance and grip to take priority over the firm, flat feel of a pure circuit setup.
