XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR 2017-2023

For a straight-line pass in a 577bhp AMG GT R, the fight isn’t finding traction from a standing start with 630Nm going through a single 325-section rear contact patch the instant the light goes green. Left on the factory dampers, that torque arrives faster than the rear axle can load up, and the tyre spins before the car squats. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover is built specifically to shift that balance in the first tenth of a second off the line.

This isn’t a track-day or fast-road spring rate re-purposed for the strip. It’s a dedicated 0-400m setup, and on a rear-drive AMG GT R that means getting weight onto the driven axle before wheel spin has a chance to start.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GTR

Launch a GT R hard and the rear end needs to load instantly, not settle in gradually over the first car length. This setup is tuned to transfer weight onto the rear axle the moment power goes down, pressing the driven tyre harder into the tarmac and cutting the window where the tyre can spin free before it hooks up. Less idle spin off the line means more of that 4.0-litre V8’s torque converts into forward drive instead of heat and noise from an unloaded rear tyre. The result on your GT R is a launch that settles the chassis rearward on demand, holds that load through the first gear change, and keeps the car tracking straight rather than snaking as the rear tyres search for grip.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing’s Drag Racing coilover is engineered around one job: getting front-, rear-, and four-wheel-drive cars off the line with minimal wheelspin over a 0-400m run. The valving and spring setup are calibrated to move weight onto whichever axle is doing the driving the instant the throttle opens, rather than gradually as the chassis settles under acceleration. On a rear-drive platform like the GT R, that means compressing the rear tyre’s contact patch harder and sooner than a road-biased setup would, shortening the amount of time the driven wheel spends unloaded and spinning. The aim is a shorter, more repeatable window between light and hook-up, and a chassis that stays settled through that transition instead of hopping or stepping sideways as grip comes and goes.
