XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz E CLASS W213 8 CYL 2017-2023

The W213 E-Class fitted with the 8-cylinder AMG powertrain carries a lot of mass over the front axle, and on a fast tarmac stage that weight transfers hard under braking and off the apex the moment the 4MATIC+ system starts putting torque down. Standard air suspension is tuned for a comfortable motorway saloon, not for holding a consistent line over crests and compressions at stage pace.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover kit replaces that setup with a damper tuned specifically for sealed-stage work: big hits absorbed without the car ballooning up on its springs, and a platform that stays predictable when the road surface changes mid-corner. It is built for drivers running this E-Class W213 on closed tarmac events rather than for show.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2023 Mercedes Benz E Class W213 8 CYL

Fit this kit and the first thing you notice is how the car deals with a compression at speed: instead of the body continuing to move after the road surface has already changed, the damper controls that motion and gets the tyre back onto the road faster. On a car this heavy, that matters most under braking into a tightening stage corner, where the front end stops diving and the nose stays level enough to keep turn-in accurate. The increased low-speed control also does more for outright traction than raw grip alone, because a tyre that’s being kept in consistent contact with a moving road surface puts power down more effectively than one that’s still settling from the last bump. Roll under the AWD-assisted mid-corner load is reduced too, which keeps the W213’s considerable width working for you rather than rocking onto its outside shoulder.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally damper is built around the demands of sealed-stage events, where the road surface is broken tarmac rather than a smooth circuit line. Internally it’s tuned to soak up sharp-edged impacts and big compressions without transmitting that shock straight into the body, which is what keeps the tyre loaded and gripping through the hit rather than skipping across it. That absorption is the mechanism behind the stability the kit delivers in fast direction changes: less body movement translates directly into a more predictable car for the driver. The damping settings themselves come from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, carried across into this road-going kit rather than derived from a generic road-and-track compromise.
