XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz E CLASS W213 6 CYL 4WD 2017-2023

The W213 E-Class’s 4Matic six-cylinder cars carry genuine mass over the front axle, and on a rally stage that weight reaches the tyre contact patch faster than a stock damper is built to manage. Add a surface that switches from clean asphalt to a patched, cambered, or broken section within a few hundred metres, and the standard suspension starts working against the driver rather than for them.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover is calibrated for exactly that environment: sealed-stage tarmac work where hits arrive repeatedly and the car needs to stay composed between them, not just survive one big compression.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz E Class W213 6 CYL 4WD

Fitted to the W213, this coilover is set up to absorb the impact of an uneven road surface rather than transmit it into the chassis, which matters on a car this heavy when a mid-corner ridge or a patched repair section arrives mid-throttle. Big hits – kerb strikes, broken tarmac edges, sudden camber changes – are taken up by the damper instead of bouncing the body, which keeps the tyre in contact with the road and the 4Matic system able to put power down when it counts. That control over body movement is what keeps a 4WD six-cylinder car settled through a stage rather than pitching and rolling between inputs. The result on this specific platform is a car that turns in with less of the nose-heavy wallow the W213 shows on standard springs and dampers, and holds its line through repeated direction changes instead of loosening up after the first few hard hits.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally line is built around one job: sealed-stage rally use on tarmac, not gravel and not a circuit lap. Construction is aimed at soaking up the impact of uneven pavement without the shock transferring straight into the body, so a big compression event – a pothole repair, a ridge, a broken road edge – gets absorbed rather than kicked back up through the chassis. That damping control is also what keeps tyre traction consistent rather than letting the contact patch skip on the surface after a hit. The stability this delivers is what lets a driver commit to a line with real confidence rather than backing off after every rough section. XYZ Racing has drawn the valving and spring settings in this line directly from its own tarmac rally programme, so the behaviour under repeated hard use reflects actual stage experience rather than a generic road-going calibration.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz E Class W213 6 CYL 4WD (2017-2023)

This kit is built for the W213-generation Mercedes Benz E-Class, chassis code ME32, in six-cylinder 4Matic configuration across the 2017 to 2023 production run. It is specific to the all-wheel-drive six-cylinder chassis rather than the four-cylinder or rear-drive variants, so confirm your E-Class is a 4Matic six-cylinder model before ordering.
