XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL 2016-2026

The sixth-generation Camaro’s Alpha platform carries a heavy V8 up front and drives all of that torque through a live rear axle, a combination that overwhelms a soft standard damper the moment a tarmac stage throws broken camber, a mid-corner crest or a compression at the car in quick succession. Standard-spec valving is tuned for smooth British B-roads, not for the repeated, high-frequency hits a closed stage delivers lap after another.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL (2016-2026) is built around that specific problem: keep the car’s mass under control through rapid direction changes without going so stiff that the wheel skips off line the instant the tarmac gets rough. It is the spec built for sealed-stage tarmac rally use, where the car needs to stay planted at speed while still soaking up surface damage the road-going Camaro was never asked to deal with.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL

Fit this coilover and the first thing you notice is how much less the V8’s weight transfer unsettles the rear axle under hard acceleration out of a stage corner. Instead of the back end squatting and skating over broken surface, the damper keeps the tyre loaded and working, which matters directly for how much of that torque you can actually put down. Through fast direction changes, body roll is checked earlier, so the nose stays pointed and the rear stays predictable rather than stepping out over camber changes. Braking into tighter stage sections is more consistent too, because the front end isn’t diving into every compression on top of an already nose-heavy chassis. The net result on the Camaro specifically is a car that shrugs off the surface damage a tarmac stage guarantees, instead of fighting it corner after corner.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

This is a damper built specifically around tarmac rally use rather than adapted from a circuit or fast-road spec. Its job is absorbing the impact of an uneven paved surface – the kind of sharp-edged bumps, crests and broken camber a closed stage throws at a car repeatedly over a single run – without transmitting that shock straight into the body structure. By suppressing that shock through the damper rather than the chassis, the tyre spends more time in contact with the road, which is where the traction gain actually comes from. That contact-patch consistency is also what underpins the stability XYZ describes as "perfect handling" in its own material: a car that holds its line because the suspension is absorbing the hit, not because the driver is backing off. The valving settings themselves come directly out of XYZ’s own tarmac rally racing programme, carried across into this road-fitment kit for the Camaro rather than derived from a generic damping curve.

Fitment for the Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL (2016-2026)

This kit is built for the Chevrolet CAMARO 8 CYL, chassis code CH06, covering the 2016 to 2026 model years. It is specific to the V8-engined Camaro – confirm your car carries the 8-cylinder powertrain for this fitment before ordering, as the mounting and valving are matched to that drivetrain’s weight and torque delivery.
