XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S/ GT C (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2015-2023

The GT S and GT C run Mercedes-AMG’s adaptive damping system from the factory, which is exactly the problem for anyone converting the car to a fixed-rate coilover platform. Fitting a serious set of dampers to the ME54-C chassis means eliminating that electronic control loop cleanly, not fighting it, and the Racing Spec kit is built with the cancellation hardware to do it properly rather than leaving warning lights and half-working sensors behind.

That matters more on this car than most. The GT platform carries its engine well back behind the front axle and puts a lot of weight over the rear contact patches, so a track-focused AMG GT needs dampers that were actually validated against that balance rather than adapted from a generic multi-link setup. This is the kit for owners taking the GT S or GT C onto a circuit seriously, not just lowering it for a show.

What this coilover does for your 2015-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GT S/ GT C (cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

With the OEM adaptive damping cancelled out and replaced by the Racing Spec unit, you get direct, predictable control over how the car loads its outside rear tyre through a fast corner instead of relying on a computer’s best guess. The GT S and GT C’s rear-biased weight transfer becomes something you can tune for rather than manage around: stiffen the rear to control squat under the AMG V8’s torque, or work the front to sharpen turn-in without the nose diving into a soft factory bump-stop. Ride height drops to a setup that suits a lowered centre of gravity for circuit driving, and because the cancellation kit removes the electronic damping signal entirely, there’s no conflict between two systems trying to control the same corner. The result is a car that responds the same way lap after every lap, not one where suspension behaviour shifts depending on which drive mode is selected.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s damper built specifically for circuit racing, with its valving derived from direct participation in touring car competition including WTCC. That racing background shapes the base tune, but XYZ Racing also builds custom shock absorbers for cars running aggressive factory-level or A-class competition upgrades – if your GT S or GT C carries non-standard suspension geometry, aero, or chassis modifications, you can supply the specifics of your build and the circuit you run and have the damper valved around that car rather than a stock template. On the AMG GT specifically, that custom path is worth knowing about: a heavily modified GT S bears little resemblance to a showroom car once you start adding aero and stiffer mounts, and Racing Spec’s race-programme heritage means the base unit is already built to handle those loads rather than a compromise tune softened for road use.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GT S/ GT C (2015-2023)

This Racing Spec coilover kit is built for the ME54-C chassis code, covering the Mercedes-AMG GT S and GT C from 2015 to 2023, and is specifically configured with the cancellation kit required to remove the factory electronic damping control. Confirm your GT is fitted with the adaptive damping system before ordering, since the cancellation hardware is designed around replacing that specific setup.
