XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz E CLASS W213 6 CYL 2017-2023

The W213 E-Class carries its turbocharged straight-six a long way ahead of the front axle, and that nose-heavy stance is exactly what catches out a standard damper on a rally stage: hard compression diving into a braking zone, then a slow-motion recovery as the car rotates back the other way. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover kit for the Mercedes Benz E Class W213 6 CYL (2017-2023) is set up around that specific problem rather than around ride comfort.

This is a stage kit, not a fast-road kit. Sealed-stage tarmac rally throws up crested jumps, camber changes and mid-corner ruts on public-road surfaces that were never smoothed off for competition, and the E-Class needs a damper that can shrug off a big compression event without unsettling the rear axle three corners later.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz E Class W213 6 CYL

Fitted to a 2017-2023 E Class W213 6 CYL, this kit keeps the nose-heavy front end pinned through a compression rather than letting it dive and rebound late. Big hits – a crest taken flat, a pothole mid-braking – get absorbed rather than kicked back through the chassis, which keeps the rear multi-link settled instead of stepping out of line on the exit. That control translates directly into tyre contact patch: less vertical bounce off a bump means more of the tyre stays loaded and gripping through the moment it matters most. The net effect on a car this size and this nose-heavy is a chassis that turns in on command instead of a beat later.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is XYZ Racing’s damper for exactly the discipline its name describes: closed, timed tarmac stages rather than open road or full off-road rally. The valving is built to soak up the impact of an uneven or broken road surface and to stop that impact translating into body movement – the shock stays where it’s meant to and the body doesn’t follow it. That matters most under a big hit: rather than the suspension kicking the tyre off the road, the damper absorbs the jolt and keeps the contact patch working, which is where the traction and the stability actually come from. XYZ built the valving and spring rate around its own tarmac rally programme, so the settings on this kit reflect stage experience rather than a road-car compromise stretched to fit.
