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

The W222 S-Class was engineered around Mercedes’ air suspension brief – long-travel comfort masking nearly two tonnes of luxury saloon, with electronic damping ironing out the rest. Strip that out for a coil-sprung setup and the car becomes a different animal: tauter, more responsive, and finally willing to be driven rather than wafted. The XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover is the kit that takes the W222 4MATIC down that road properly.

This is the track-focused spec in the XYZ Racing range, built for owners who want their S-Class to corner with the kind of body control the standard car never offered. The included cancellation kit defeats the factory electronic damping signal so the ECU stops throwing fault codes once the air struts come off.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 4WD (NON MBC hydraulic) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Swapping the air system for the Racing Spec transforms how the W222 carries its mass. The car sits noticeably lower and flatter, and the front-to-rear pitch under braking – always a giveaway on the standard setup – is reined in hard. Steering response sharpens because the chassis no longer has to wait for the air bags to settle before it loads up. The 30-way damping adjustment lets you choose how firm the ride sits day to day, which matters on a 4MATIC W222 that still has to commute. Roll under load is reduced enough that the car holds a chosen line through a corner rather than rounding it off. The cancellation kit means no dashboard warnings, no limp-home behaviour, and no lingering reminders that the factory system has gone.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec sits at the firmer end of the XYZ Racing catalogue, intended for circuit and aggressive fast-road work. The damper bodies are monotube with separate compression and rebound circuits, which gives a wider useful adjustment range than twin-tube designs and copes better with sustained heat. Spring rates are matched to the W222’s mass and 4MATIC weight distribution, and ride height is adjustable on the lower mount rather than by preloading the spring – so corner-weighting and rake can be set without changing damper behaviour. The kit ships with the cancellation modules wired to address the W222’s electronic damping ECU directly. Camber plates feature on the front strut tops where geometry allows, which on a car this nose-heavy is genuinely useful.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 4WD (NON MBC hydraulic) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2014-2020)

This kit fits the W222 chassis in 4MATIC (4WD) form, from 2014 through 2020. It is specifically the NON MBC hydraulic variant – cars with Magic Body Control’s predictive hydraulic system need a different part. Electronic damping cancellation modules are included in the box.
