XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2026

Launch traction is the whole argument in a rear-drive AMG GT, and the ME52-C platform’s transaxle layout – gearbox slung over the rear axle – already loads the driven wheels in your favour. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster is built to exploit exactly that: it governs how the chassis squats and shifts weight rearward the instant the clutch drops or the gearbox bangs through a shift.

This is a single-purpose setup for the 0-400 metre run, not a fast-road compromise. It is supplied with an electronic damping cancellation kit so the factory adaptive damper control doesn’t throw a fault when the standard units come out, leaving the spring and valving free to do one job – keep the rear tyres planted and stop them spinning off the line.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

The gains live in the first sixty feet. Controlled rearward weight transfer presses the driven tyres into the surface as you launch, so the contact patch is working under load instead of lighting up. That shortens the window where the rear wheels are spinning rather than hooking up, which is where reaction-time and 60-foot numbers are won or lost. Through the traps, the firmer platform holds the car steadier at terminal speed, so the AMG GT tracks straight rather than wandering as aero load builds. Pulling the electronic dampers out also removes the OEM control unit’s variability from the equation – what you set is what you get, run to run.

About the Drag Racing coilover

The Drag Racing series is engineered specifically for standing-start acceleration and works across front-, rear- and four-wheel-drive cars. The core idea is managed weight migration: the setup shifts load front-to-rear in step with which axle is driving, forcing greater compression into the drive tyres at the moment it matters. More compression means a bigger, harder-working contact patch, which cuts the idle time where a wheel is turning faster than the car is moving. The trade-off is deliberate – this is a launch-and-straight-line tool, valved to plant the driven end and hold the chassis stable as speed climbs, rather than to flatter a B-road. On the rear-drive AMG GT, that bias suits the platform’s natural rearward weight distribution.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster (2017-2026)

This kit is specified for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT and GT Roadster, chassis code ME52-C, across the 2017 to 2026 model span. It is the variant for cars fitted with factory electronic damping and includes the cancellation kit needed to run conventional coilovers without triggering a damper fault. Confirm your car carries the adaptive damping system before ordering this version.
