XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 4-DOOR COUPE (X290) 4WD 8CYL (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2018-2026

The X290’s factory AMG Ride Control adaptive dampers are tuned for road comfort and cornering compliance, not for the violent front-to-rear weight transfer a 0-400m launch puts through a 4WD V8 saloon this heavy. Swap those electronically-controlled dampers for anything else and the AMG GT 4-Door Coupe’s control module throws fault codes the moment it stops seeing a valid signal.

This XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover kit is built specifically to solve both problems on the same car. It replaces the adaptive damper with a fixed-rate unit tuned for straight-line launch loads, and it comes with the electronic damping cancellation hardware this chassis needs so the dash stays clean once the OEM dampers are gone.

What this coilover does for your 2018-2026 Mercedes Benz AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (X290)

Drag Racing-spec valving is set up to control the AMG GT’s weight shift during launch rather than to soak up mid-corner compression, which means less wheel hop off the line and a more consistent contact patch through the first few car-lengths. On a 4WD platform like the X290, that front/rear balance shift matters twice as much, because power is being split across both axles and any imbalance shows up as wasted traction at the rear rather than just wheelspin. Ride height and preload are adjustable independently, so you can load the rear end for launch without turning the car into a pogo stick on the way back to the pits. The cancellation kit means none of this comes at the cost of a dashboard full of suspension warnings.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing’s Drag Racing coilover is built around one job: getting maximum tyre compression down instantly at launch, whether the car underneath it is FWD, RWD or 4WD. The damper and spring combination is set up to shift the car’s effective front-to-rear weight balance the moment power goes down, forcing the rear tyres into the tarmac harder and cutting the amount of time the wheel spends unloaded and spinning free. Less idle wheel time means less wasted energy between throttle input and forward motion, and a more stable car once that weight transfer settles. It’s a purpose-specific setup rather than an all-rounder, and on the X290 it’s paired with the electronic damping cancellation components needed to run it cleanly.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT 4-Door Coupe (X290) (2018-2026)

Built specifically for the X290-chassis AMG GT 4-Door Coupe, 4WD, V8, model years 2018 to 2026. This is the Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping variant, matched to cars fitted with AMG Ride Control from the factory so the OEM adaptive damper wiring doesn’t trigger fault codes once the coilovers are installed.
