XYZ Racing Drift Spec Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz AMG GTR (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2023

The AMG GTR’s electronically controlled dampers are tuned to keep a wide, heavy rear-wheel-drive chassis composed through fast corners – the opposite job to holding the car sideways on lock. XYZ Racing’s Drift Spec coilover for the Mercedes Benz AMG GTR, built for the ME39-C chassis and supplied with the cancellation kit needed to silence the factory electronic damping, swaps that adaptive system for fixed, mechanically adjustable units set up specifically for sustained slide angles rather than outright cornering grip.

For a GTR going into competitive drifting, the factory ride height and damper curve work against the driver from the moment of initiation. This kit drops the car lower, opens up bump stroke for controlled weight transfer as the rear steps out, and removes the conflict between the AMG electronics and a manual coilover set-up entirely.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz AMG GTR

With the factory electronic damping cancelled and XYZ’s manually adjustable units in its place, the GTR’s rear axle responds directly to throttle and steering input, without the car’s own electronics quietly correcting body motion mid-corner. Dropping the ride height brings an already low centre of gravity closer to the ground, giving the driver an earlier, clearer sense of exactly when the rear tyres let go. Correctly set bump stroke keeps the chassis settled once the rear starts moving, so the car holds a line through a slide instead of snapping back or wallowing. Adjustable compression damping lets you soften the initiation so the transition into a slide is progressive rather than sudden, while rebound control stops the rear from pogoing once you’re committed and holding angle. None of this is chasing lap time – it’s giving a big, powerful Mercedes Benz AMG GTR a suspension that does what a drift car actually needs from the chassis, rather than what the factory built it to do.

About the Drift Spec coilover

XYZ Racing built the Drift Spec range around the specific demands of competitive drifting, rather than adapting a fast-road or track coilover to the job. The valving is set up to keep the body composed through fast, high-speed direction changes, so the car holds a clean angle instead of wallowing or snapping back when the driver corrects steering or throttle mid-slide. Ride height comes down further than a road-focused kit would allow, and bump stroke is specifically set so the chassis has room to compress and rebound predictably as weight shifts from lock to lock through a run. That combination is what keeps the car’s drift control consistent run after run, rather than a set-up that changes character once the tyres come up to temperature or the car has been through several passes. For this particular fitment, the kit is supplied with the cancellation hardware needed to take the GTR’s factory electronic damper wiring out of the equation entirely, so there’s no conflict between the standard AMG electronics and the manual dampers doing the actual work underneath.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz AMG GTR (2017-2023)

This kit is built specifically for the ME39-C chassis – the Mercedes Benz AMG GTR produced from 2017 to 2023 – and for cars specified with the factory electronic damping system, which is why the cancellation kit ships as standard rather than as an optional extra. Confirm your car carries that electronic damping fitment, since this kit is matched to that specific configuration rather than a standard passive set-up.
