XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Mercedes-Benz S CLASS W222 4WD (NON MBC hydraulic) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2014-2020

Launching a two-tonne-plus W222 4MATIC down a quarter mile is a problem of managing mass. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover for the Mercedes Benz S Class W222 4WD strips out the factory AIRMATIC struts and replaces them with a coil-sprung platform built around one job: planting weight onto the driven axles at the hit, then keeping a long, heavy saloon settled as it piles on speed.

This is the NON MBC hydraulic specification, so it suits W222 cars running standard electronic damping rather than the hydraulic Magic Body Control hardware. The bundled cancellation kit keeps the instrument cluster clear of suspension fault codes once the air struts come off, so the car drives without a permanent warning light where the AIRMATIC sensors used to report.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S Class W222 4WD

With the air system gone you get a fixed, repeatable ride height and a spring-and-damper rate chosen for launch behaviour rather than limousine float. On a 4MATIC chassis where torque is split across both axles, the setup is tuned to load the rear on take-off and hold the nose from pitching wildly, so the contact patches stay loaded through the sixty-foot. Off the strip it gives the W222 a flatter, more planted feel than the standard air setup, with the height set exactly where you want it. The result is a heavy saloon that hooks up more cleanly and tracks straighter as the numbers climb.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ designed this Drag Racing series specifically for 0 to 400 metre sprinting across front-wheel, rear-wheel and 4WD platforms. The valving and rate strategy deliberately shifts front-to-rear weight toward whichever wheels are putting power down during hard, instantaneous acceleration, forcing greater compression into the driven tyre. That extra load cuts the dead time where a tyre spins instead of gripping, sharpening the launch, and the damping is set to keep the car stable as terminal speed builds. It is a focused, single-purpose tune rather than a fast-road compromise.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz S Class (2014-2020)

Built for the W222 S Class, chassis code ME65-C, across the 2014 to 2020 production span. This is the 4WD (4MATIC) NON MBC hydraulic variant and includes the cancellation kit for cars fitted with electronic damping from the factory. Confirm your car runs standard AIRMATIC electronic damping rather than the hydraulic Magic Body Control system before ordering.
