XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz CLS C218 4/6 CYL 2011-2018

The CLS C218’s swept-roof four-door coupe body carries a lot of mass over the front axle, and on the factory air suspension that weight shows up as dive under braking and roll through fast direction changes. XYZ Racing’s Street Advanced coilover kit for the Mercedes Benz CLS C218 4/6 CYL (2011-2018) swaps that softer, comfort-tuned setup for a coilover platform built to firm up body control without turning the car into a track special.

Street Advanced sits in XYZ’s range as the enthusiast street option – enough adjustment range to sharpen a fast-road CLS or take it out for the odd track day, without giving up the ride quality this car was built around. It’s the pick for owners who want their four-cylinder or V6 CLS to change direction the way its shape suggests it should, rather than the way its original air struts let it.

What this coilover does for your 2011-2018 Mercedes Benz CLS C218 4/6 CYL

Fit this kit to a 2011-2018 CLS C218 and the first thing you’ll notice is how much less the nose dives into a roundabout or a hard stop – lowering the centre of gravity and tightening damping control cuts the pitch that the factory air suspension allows. Through direction changes the coupe’s long body settles rather than rolling onto its outside shoulder, so the front end loads up predictably instead of pushing wide. XYZ’s 720-way damping adjustment means you can run the CLS soft enough for the motorway commute and firm it up for a B-road blast or a track day session, all from the same set of dampers. Ride height is also yours to set, so you can drop the stance to match the car’s proportions without losing the suspension travel a heavy executive coupe still needs.

About the Street Advanced coilover

XYZ’s Street Advanced platform is the result of years of development by the brand’s in-house engineering team, refined through use in racing programmes worldwide before being adapted for road-going applications. It’s built as the do-it-all option in the lineup – equally at home on a daily commute or a circuit day – with 720 discrete damping positions giving a genuinely usable spread between comfort and control rather than a token handful of clicks. Construction follows XYZ’s usual coilover format, with separate ride-height and damping adjustment, so you’re not trading one for the other every time you change the setup. For a car like the CLS C218, where the factory ride is tuned almost entirely for comfort, that range matters – it’s what lets the kit work as daily-driver suspension and fast-road kit in the same components.
