Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 4WD (NON MBC hydraulic) 2014-2020 — Coilovers

The W222 S-Class was engineered to isolate its occupants from the road, and on a 4MATIC car that means close to two tonnes of luxury saloon riding on soft, self-levelling springs. This XYZ Racing coilover kit is built for the non-MBC hydraulic versions of the 2014-2020 car, swapping tired or failed factory struts for height-adjustable, damper-tuned hardware that actually ties the chassis down.

For a saloon this size and weight, the gain is control rather than outright aggression. You set the ride height, choose a spec to match how you drive, and turn a floaty flagship into a car that holds its line and sits the way you want it to on the drive.

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

Lowering a W222 of this mass sharpens turn-in and cuts the long, slow body float that air-sprung S-Class cars carry through quick direction changes. Adjustable damping lets you firm things up for B-road pace or leave compliance in for motorway miles, while ride-height adjustment closes the arch gap that 19 and 20-inch wheels expose. On a 4MATIC car the front axle carries serious weight, so the firmer spring and damper rates also rein in nose-dive under braking. The outcome is a more planted, more deliberate S-Class that keeps most of the comfort that made you buy one.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

This is a full coilover conversion, not a lowering spring, so the factory struts come out entirely. The kit is offered across a spread of specs – Super Sport for fast-road use, Top Sport and Circuit Master for harder driving, plus Racing Spec, Drift Spec, Street Advanced and dedicated Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Pro Rally builds – so the spring and damper tune is matched to intent rather than sold one-size-fits-all. Each version sets height independently of damper travel, so you can drop the car without sacrificing shaft stroke. Higher specs add adjustable damping to balance rebound and compression. All are sprung to carry the W222’s considerable kerb weight rather than adapted from a lighter platform.

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

This kit fits the W222 S-Class, chassis code ME65, in 4MATIC all-wheel-drive form across the 2014 to 2020 model years. It is specified for cars WITHOUT the Magic Body Control hydraulic system – confirm your car runs standard suspension rather than MBC before ordering.
