XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2023

The AMG GT R left the factory running AMG Ride Control, an electronically controlled adaptive damper system tied into the car’s drive-mode selector – which is exactly why a coilover kit for this chassis needs a cancellation kit built in rather than bolted on as an afterthought. Fit XYZ Racing’s Top Sport coilovers to the ME39-C and you remove that electronic damping loop entirely, replacing it with manually adjustable dampers and springs suited to a car that already carries a transaxle layout and some of the widest rear tyres of any factory Mercedes-AMG road car.

Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s spec for occasional track day work and daily-driveable street use in between. It sits firmer than a fast-road setup but doesn’t turn the car into something you dread driving to the circuit. For a GT R owner splitting time between the commute and the odd track session, that’s the brief: consistent damping that behaves the same way every time, rather than shifting character between Comfort, Sport and Race.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GTR (cancellation Kit For Electronic Damping)

Swapping AMG Ride Control’s electronic control loop for a fixed, mechanically adjustable damper set means the GT R’s transaxle-balanced chassis reacts the same way corner after corner instead of drifting between drive-mode calibrations. A damping force increase of roughly 30 to 50 percent over a street setting, or the option of a 2kg/mm stiffer spring rate, holds the body flatter under the load transfer a 325-section rear tyre and a front-mid V8 layout put through the chassis, so the car settles on turn-in and off-throttle rather than pitching. On the broken tarmac that passes for a lot of UK B-roads, the extra control is there to absorb hard compressions across bigger bumps without kicking the rear axle sideways, which keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded instead of skipping. The result on this GT R is a chassis that feels more planted at both axles under hard cornering, with a level of stability the standard adaptive dampers don’t hold onto once you’re past their comfort-biased tuning.

About the Top Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport line is built around the settings its own racing programme runs on track, adapted into a kit that still has to work on the road. Damping force goes up by roughly 30 to 50 percent over a street configuration, or the springs can be specified around 2kg/mm stiffer, depending on which end of the spec a buyer leans towards. That extra control is there to absorb the impact of uneven surfaces and soak up the jolt of a hard compression across a big bump, rather than letting it translate straight into the chassis. Suppressing that shock-body movement is also what keeps the tyre loaded and gripping rather than skipping, which is the stability XYZ Racing is chasing with this setting. It’s built for track day use and for drivers who push a car hard on the road, not for a soft daily ride.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GTR (2017-2023)

This kit is specified for the Mercedes Benz AMG GTR, chassis code ME39-C, across the 2017-2023 production run. Because the GT R left the factory with electronic AMG Ride Control damping fitted as standard, this Top Sport coilover kit includes the cancellation hardware needed to remove that system cleanly and run manually adjustable dampers in its place, without leaving a fault flagged for a system that’s no longer there.
