XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz CLA35 C118 4WD φ55.5 2019-2025

The CLA35’s 4Matic layout puts drive through all four corners, which changes what a coilover needs to do compared with the front-drive CLA-based hatches it’s built alongside. Load transfer under power goes to the rear axle as well as the front, and the standard suspension is tuned soft enough to blur that response. A Super Sport coilover on the C118 platform is aimed at owners who use their car hard on a fast road and occasionally on track, not at those chasing a show stance.

This kit trades the factory’s comfort bias for a chassis that tells you what the all-wheel-drive system is doing underneath you. Ride height is adjustable independently of damping, so you can correct the AMG-line’s factory rake or drop the car without touching how it reacts to a mid-corner bump.

What this coilover does for your 2019-2025 Mercedes Benz Cla35

Fitted to the CLA35 C118, the 36-way damping adjustment lets you separate the two extremes the standard setup can’t: a road setting soft enough for UK B-roads that still resists dive under braking into a roundabout, and a track setting that keeps the nose settled through direction changes without the AWD system’s added mass pitching the car. Independent ride-height adjustment corrects the factory’s nose-down rake without altering spring preload, useful on a chassis that already carries more weight over the front axle than its 2-series equivalents. The monotube-style construction behind the 36-way range is built to hold its damping characteristic through repeated hard use rather than fading after a few quick laps, which matters on a car whose extra driveline weight loads the dampers harder than a standard-drive CLA. Set stiffer, it also cuts the roll that lets a heavy AWD saloon feel vague when you’re trail-braking into slower corners.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport line was built to solve the compromise that comes from a fixed factory spring and damper rate: comfortable enough for daily roads or harsh over everything. The 36-way dampening adjustment means the same damper can be wound back for a broken motorway surface or firmed up for a trackday without swapping parts. Ride height adjustment is built into the design too, so lowering the car doesn’t automatically mean losing suspension travel or living with a harsh ride. XYZ positions this range for exactly the crossover use case the CLA35 sees in practice – a car that’s a daily driver most of the week and a weekend circuit or fast-road tool the rest of the time. The adjustability is the point: rather than picking one compromise setting at the factory, the owner sets the car up for whatever the next drive actually calls for.
