XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz S CLASS W222 (NON MBC hydraulic or 4WD) 2014-2020

The W222 S-Class was engineered to glide, not to attack a back road – which is exactly the problem the XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover is built to solve on the non-MBC, non-4WD variants. Strip away the factory Airmatic philosophy and you are left with a long, heavy luxury saloon that wants composure on broken surfaces rather than billiard-table smoothness.

For owners running the steel-sprung W222 who want genuine adjustability, controlled body movement and the ability to lean on the car over uneven tarmac, this is the Pro Rally’s brief. It replaces a comfort-first OEM setup with a damping platform that takes input from the driver instead of filtering it out.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 (NON MBC hydraulic or 4WD)

The W222 carries serious mass over the front axle, and the standard suspension hides that weight behind clever valving rather than controlling it. Swap to the Pro Rally and the car starts to feel its tyres again – turn-in sharpens, mid-corner roll is reined in, and the nose stops floating after sharp compressions. Ride height is fully adjustable so you can pull the visual gap closed without resorting to lowering springs that destroy the damper rates. Damping is independently adjustable, which means you can soften the car for a motorway run and firm it up for a faster B-road without touching the spring rates. On rough surfaces – the natural habitat of a "rally" tune – the long-travel design keeps the contact patch planted instead of skipping into understeer.

About the Pro Rally coilover

The Pro Rally sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the long-travel, rough-surface specialist – a coilover built for poor tarmac, gravel forest roads and the kind of broken British backroad that hammers conventional track-biased kits into submission. Construction is a monotube damper with a large-diameter piston, mated to a separate ride-height adjuster so corner weighting does not eat into your usable shock travel. Spring rates are tuned softer than the Circuit Master or Super Sport siblings, prioritising mechanical grip over outright body control. Damping adjustment is multi-step, accessible at the top of each unit, and the whole assembly is rebuildable rather than disposable. Where a circuit coilover wants flat, predictable surfaces, the Pro Rally is engineered for the opposite world – one where the road fights back.
