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

The AMG GT and GT Roadster carry their weight low and rearward off that front-mid V8 and rear transaxle, and Mercedes-AMG manages that balance electronically through the factory Ride Control dampers rather than fixed valving. Fit a passive coilover to a Mercedes Benz AMG GT built this way and you have to deal with that electronic control loop first – which is exactly what the cancellation harness bundled into this Top Sport kit is there to do.

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport spec for the ME52-C generation keeps the front-end bite the GT already has through a fast direction change, but hands the damping curve back to a fixed valve you set yourself instead of a computer guessing at road surface. It suits an owner who wants the odd trackday out of the car and still wants to drive it home afterwards, rather than a setup that only makes sense once the car’s on a circuit.

What this coilover kit does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster

Fitting this kit replaces the GT’s adaptive dampers with a fixed valve you control directly, and the cancellation harness stops the dash raising faults once the electronic Ride Control loop is taken out of the circuit. Running 30-50% more damping than the standard street setting, or roughly 2kg/mm more spring rate, keeps the nose settled under trail braking and stops the rear stepping about over mid-corner bumps – both places the factory adaptive setup starts to run out of ideas once you’re past fast-road pace. Big compressions, kerb strikes, the patched-up tarmac on a typical B-road, all get absorbed into the damper rather than passed straight into the chassis, which keeps the rear tyres loaded evenly instead of skipping. Lower and firmer, the car also carries less roll through direction changes, which on a GT Roadster with the roof down is the first thing you’ll notice.

About the Top Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Top Sport coilover sits between a fast-road spring and a full race setup: damping runs 30-50% firmer than the brand’s street kits, with spring rates stepped up by around 2kg/mm, enough to control a heavier, faster car without turning the ride harsh on the road. That extra control exists specifically for poor surfaces – a kerb strike, a badly repaired stretch of tarmac, a run of compressions taken at speed – so the body doesn’t kick back at the driver or unload a tyre mid-corner. The valving and spring rates come straight out of XYZ Racing’s own Top Sport programme, and the kit is aimed at owners who do trackdays and want the car to behave itself under load, not just sit lower in the car park.
