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

The AMG GT R left the factory with adaptive AMG Ride Control dampers wired into the car’s ECU, and that’s the problem anyone fitting aftermarket suspension to this chassis has to solve before anything else. Swap in a fixed-rate coilover without addressing the electronics and the car throws damper-fault warnings and limps the chassis control systems into a degraded mode. This Super Sport kit is built specifically to replace that electronic damping hardware and includes the cancellation kit needed to keep the ECU happy once the factory dampers are gone.

With that sorted, what you’re left with is a proper fast-road and weekend track kit for a car whose mid-front V8 layout and wide rear track reward a chassis that’s been dialled to a fixed, known damping curve rather than one guessing at road surface every few milliseconds.

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

The GT R’s biturbo V8 sits low and back in the chassis, and the factory Ride Control system was tuned to mask a wide spread of conditions rather than sharpen any one of them. Fitting fixed-rate, height-adjustable dampers changes that: 36 damping positions let you set compression and rebound to suit a specific circuit or a specific commute, rather than accepting the software’s compromise. Ride height adjustment brings the option to correct the stance and drop the centre of gravity without touching spring rates, which matters on a car whose rear-biased weight distribution already asks a lot of the outside rear tyre under load. On rough UK B-roads the improved wheel control keeps the rear axle settled through compressions where the standard adaptive dampers can still get caught out chasing their own adjustment range.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport line was developed to take the harshness out of the ride-versus-control trade-off that comes with lowering a road car. The damper body carries 36 clicks of adjustment, giving a wide enough spread to move from a comfortable daily setting to a firmer track-day state without swapping hardware. Ride height is independently adjustable at the strut, so corner weights and stance can be set separately from the damping curve. The construction is aimed at cars that see both a commute and a track day in the same fortnight, which is exactly the brief for a GT R owner who wants one set of dampers rather than a garage full of options.

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

This kit is built for the ME39-C chassis, covering Mercedes Benz AMG GT R models from 2017 to 2023 fitted with the factory electronic Ride Control damping system. The cancellation kit for electronic damping is included as standard with this fitment, so no separate ECU workaround is needed when the factory dampers come out.
