XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2023

The AMG GT and GT Roadster left the factory with AMG RIDE CONTROL electronic adaptive damping wired into the chassis control unit, which means a mechanical coilover swap on this car isn’t a straight bolt-in – the electronic system has to be cancelled out before a fixed or manually adjustable damper can do its job properly. XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec kit for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT and GT Roadster (2017-2023) is built around that exact problem: a full coilover assembly paired with the cancellation kit needed to take the ME52-C off electronic damping and onto mechanical control.

Racing Spec sits at the top of XYZ’s coilover range, built for serious track and time-attack use rather than a fast-road compromise. For a front-mid-engined V8 with the AMG GT’s nose-heavy weight transfer under trail braking, that distinction matters more than it does on a lighter, more neutral chassis.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster

Cancelling AMG RIDE CONTROL removes the factory’s compromise-tuned adaptive curve – the one that has to soften itself for road use – and replaces it with damping that stays consistent lap after the car is loaded up. On a chassis that already carries a lot of its mass over the front axle, that consistency shows up most under trail braking into a fast corner, where the AMG GT wants to push wide if the front end isn’t controlled through the transition from braking to turn-in. Ride height becomes something you set for the car and the track rather than something the factory system decides for you, which matters for a wide, low car like the GT Roadster where kerb strikes and pit-lane speed bumps are a real consideration. Corner-exit traction off a big naturally-aspirated or twin-turbo V8 also benefits from suspension that isn’t hunting between comfort and sport modes mid-lap.

About the Racing Spec coilover

XYZ’s Racing Spec damper is developed specifically for circuit racing, with its damping settings pulled directly from XYZ’s own participation in touring car competition, including the WTCC. It’s the tier XYZ builds when a car is going to see repeated hard sessions rather than the occasional trackday, and that racing-programme lineage is what separates it from the brand’s fast-road-oriented kits. For AMG GT and GT Roadster owners running heavier modifications – aggressive aero, larger brakes, or a car built closer to a factory racing spec than a road car – XYZ also offers a custom shock absorber service: send over what’s been changed on the car and which circuit it runs, and the dampers can be built around that specific setup rather than a generic template. On this ME52-C application, that custom-build route sits alongside the standard Racing Spec kit and the electronic-damping cancellation hardware as part of the same order.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster (2017-2023)

This kit is built for the AMG GT and GT Roadster, chassis code ME52-C, covering the 2017 to 2023 model years, and includes the cancellation kit required for cars fitted with AMG RIDE CONTROL electronic adaptive damping from the factory. Confirm your car carries the electronic damping system before ordering, since that’s what determines whether the cancellation kit applies to your build.
