XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GT/ GT Roadster 2017-2023

Sealed-stage tarmac rally throws exactly the kind of surface the AMG GT’s road-biased factory suspension was never asked to survive: cambered farm lanes, patched B-roads, sudden compressions taken flat in fourth gear. The ME52 chassis carries its twin-turbo V8 low and back from the front axle, so the front end needs to stay planted through direction changes while the rear end absorbs load without kicking sideways on a broken surface.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover kit is built for that exact brief. Where a standard fast-road coilover chases a single compromise, this kit is set up specifically to keep the tyre in contact with an unpredictable road surface at speed, rather than a smooth, closed circuit.

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

Fitted to a 2017-2023 AMG GT or GT Roadster, this coilover kit changes how the car reads a rough stage. The damper tune absorbs sharp-edged hits from potholes and broken tarmac rather than transmitting them straight into the chassis, which keeps the rear tyres loaded and gripping through compressions instead of skipping. That matters on the GT specifically: with the V8 sat behind the front axle, any loss of rear contact patch on a bumpy corner exit shows up immediately as instability. Shock body control is tightened so the car settles faster after a big hit, meaning the next input, whether that is trail-braking into a blind crest or getting back on the throttle out of a hairpin, happens on a chassis that has already stopped moving. The result is a car that holds its line on a surface a standard coilover would unsettle.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally coilover is XYZ Racing’s dedicated setup for sealed-stage work, built around damping calibrated for the impact loads of uneven pavement rather than smooth circuit tarmac. The valving is tuned to soak up big bumps and compressions without the shock body kicking back, which is what keeps the tyre’s contact patch working when the road surface stops being flat. That control translates directly into traction: a chassis that stays settled after a jolt puts power down more consistently than one still recovering from the last hit. The spring and damper settings on this kit come from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, carried over rather than adapted from a track-day base, so the balance is built for stage-road behaviour from the outset. On the AMG GT platform, that means a car that stays composed and predictable when the surface underneath it is anything but.

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

This kit is built for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT and GT Roadster, chassis code ME52, covering the 2017 to 2023 model years. Confirm your build year falls within this range before ordering, as coilover geometry and mounting points can change across a model’s production run.
