XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Toyota GR86 2021-2026

The GR86’s FA24 boxer sits low and light, and on a broken sealed stage that low centre of gravity is both the car’s gift and its problem: the standard dampers run out of travel over crests and patched tarmac long before the chassis runs out of grip. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is built for exactly that surface – sealed-stage tarmac rally, where the road is paved but rarely smooth.

This is not a circuit setup pretending to be a rally part. The damping is tuned to swallow the big single hits – kerbs, compressions, ruts at a stage’s edge – while keeping the rear axle planted on corner exit, which is where a GR86 either finds drive or steps sideways. Toyota GR86 owners chasing stage times rather than lap times get a kit set up for the job.

What this coilover does for your 2021-2026 Toyota GR86

After fitting, the first thing you notice on a rough sealed stage is that the GR86 stops skipping over mid-corner bumps; the damper absorbs the jolt of a big compression instead of pinging the inside wheel light. That feeds straight into traction – the naturally aspirated FA24 has no turbo to mask a wandering contact patch, so a tyre that stays loaded is what puts the power down on exit. Body movement is suppressed over crests and dips, so the car settles faster between inputs, which matters on a stage where the next corner arrives with no run-off. The result is a GR86 that feels stable and readable when the surface is working against you, rather than nervous over every ridge.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is a damper developed specifically for sealed-stage tarmac competition, where the surface is paved but pocked with impacts a circuit never throws at you. Its job is to absorb the shock of uneven pavement – the heavy single jolts of a big bump or a dropped edge – without transmitting that violence into the body. By soaking up those impacts rather than fighting them, it keeps the tyre pressed to the road and protects the traction you need to carry speed through a stage. The valving and spring settings come from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally experience, not adapted from a road or track kit. The priority throughout is vehicle stability: a car that stays composed under hard loads is one the driver can commit to. For the GR86, that means a platform set up to treat broken tarmac as a feature of the stage rather than a hazard to be survived.
