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

The W222 S-Class is a two-tonne luxury saloon built around air suspension and adaptive electronic damping – which is exactly the problem when those hydraulic units fail out of warranty and the replacement quotes start at five figures per corner. The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the 4MATIC W222 replaces that entire compromised system with a mechanical setup engineered for surface that punishes every input.

Tarmac rally is the right brief here for a heavy 4WD car. The damping has to cope with kerbs, mid-corner ridges and elevation changes without the platform going light, and the spring rates have to control body movement on a chassis that was never designed to be lifted off its airbags. This kit ships with the cancellation module needed to silence the factory electronic damping ECU, so there are no dash faults after the swap.

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

On a W222 4MATIC, the immediate gain is mechanical predictability. Air springs that have sagged or gone soft on one corner are replaced with linear coil rates you can actually feel, and the Tarmac Rally damping profile gives the car a settled, planted attitude over broken B-roads instead of the pillowy float-and-crash the worn factory setup tends to produce.

Ride height becomes adjustable, so you can drop the nose to clean up the stance or lift it to clear awkward driveways and speed humps. Damping is adjustable across the click range, which means you can run a compliant tune for motorway miles and firm it up for spirited driving without touching a tool to the springs. The cancellation kit handles the ADS / Airmatic warning lights, so the dash stays clean.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

The Tarmac Rally series is XYZ’s purpose-grade kit for sealed-surface rally and fast-road use on heavier platforms. Construction is a monotube damper with a separate piston and shim stack, sleeved in a threaded body so spring perches adjust independently of ride height – the standard pattern that lets you set corner weights properly on a four-wheel-drive car.

Damping is adjustable in clicks from one knob per corner, covering compression and rebound on a single circuit. Spring rates are matched to the W222’s kerb weight and the front-biased 4MATIC weight distribution, so the front end is held against dive under braking without overwhelming the rear. The included cancellation harness intercepts the factory electronic damping signals so the car runs without fault codes after installation.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 4WD (2014-2020)

This kit is built specifically for the W222 4MATIC chassis (XYZ code ME65-C) produced between 2014 and 2020, in the NON MBC hydraulic specification. The cancellation module is included to disable the electronic damping ECU at install. Confirm your car is not running Magic Body Control hydraulic suspension before ordering, as that is a separate platform.
