XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz GLA X156 2014-2020

The GLA X156 carries its weight high. It is a raised hatch on Mercedes’ MFA platform, sprung soft from the factory for comfort, which leaves it leaning on its outer corner and floating over crests when you start to push. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Mercedes Benz GLA X156 goes straight at that trait: lower the body, tie down the roll, and give the chassis a flat platform to work from without stripping out the everyday compliance.

Street Advanced is the road-led kit in the XYZ range, aimed at owners who want crisper turn-in on a B-road and a tidier stance, but still need to live with potholes and motorway miles. With 720 ways of damping adjustment, it is the spec to reach for when the occasional track day matters less than how the car feels on the commute.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz GLA X156

Drop the X156 onto its struts and the first thing you feel is the reduced centre of gravity: less head-toss over bumps, far less lean when you load the outside front. The 720-step damping range lets you run the rears firmer than the nose to calm the tall body, or soften everything off for a long drive. Lowering the raised crossover stance also sharpens the steering, because the front tyres stop fighting against so much weight transfer. You keep braking confidence into a roundabout, and you lose the wallow that the standard GLA never quite shakes. Stance-wise, it closes the arch gap that defines an unmodified X156.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular kit, developed over several years by the company’s engineering team and refined through testing in international race series before being signed off for the road. It is built specifically for normal street use with the headroom for the odd track day, rather than as a stripped competition damper. The headline feature is the 720-way damping adjustment, which lets you tune bump and rebound together across a wide window to suit the car, the road, and your taste. Height is set independently of spring preload, so you can choose your ride height and your damping without one compromising the other. XYZ pitches it as essential kit for drivers chasing both speed and control, and on a tall platform like the GLA that balance is exactly the point.
