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

The W222 S-Class left Stuttgart riding on AIRMATIC air springs, and on the non-MBC, non-4MATIC cars those bags and electronic struts are the first thing to go expensive once the car ages out of warranty. This XYZ Racing coilover kit replaces that air-and-adaptive-damper setup with a conventional coil-over-damper arrangement, and ships with the electronic damping cancellation harness the W222 needs so the dash stays clean after the OEM struts come out.

That last point matters more on this chassis than on most. Pull the adaptive dampers on a W222 without the cancellation kit and the car throws suspension and ESP faults the moment you turn the key. This kit emulates the signal the ECU expects, so you get manual ride-height and damping control on a two-tonne luxury saloon without the warning lights that usually kill an air-to-coil conversion.

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

On a car this long and this heavy, the win is body control. A coilover swap on the W222 tightens up the float and secondary motion that soft air springs allow, so the nose stops diving under braking and the rear settles faster over crests and expansion joints. Height adjustment lets you drop the S-Class to a stance the factory air system never offered, while keeping enough travel to live with UK roads. Because the kit removes the failure-prone air components entirely, you also trade an open-ended repair liability for a fixed, serviceable mechanical setup. The cancellation harness keeps the instrument cluster quiet, so the conversion reads as factory-clean from the driver’s seat.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

These are full coilover assemblies built to replace the W222’s air-sprung front and rear corners outright, not a spacer or lowering shortcut. Ride height is set mechanically on a threaded lower mount, and the damping is adjustable so you can bias the car toward a controlled fast-road feel or a firmer setup. The bundled electronic damping cancellation kit is the part that makes this work specifically on the W222 – it intercepts the adaptive-damper circuit the car expects to find, preventing the fault codes that otherwise follow any air-to-coil conversion. The XYZ Racing family for this chassis spans Street Advanced and Super Sport for road-biased builds through to Circuit Master and the Racing Spec end of the range, so the same fitment covers a comfort-led drop or a much stiffer setup. Specification is fixed for the non-MBC hydraulic and non-4WD variant of the platform.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz S Class W222 (2014-2020)

This kit fits the W222 S Class built 2014 to 2020, specifically the NON MBC hydraulic and non-4WD (rear-wheel-drive) cars. It is not for Magic Body Control hydraulic cars or 4MATIC models. The electronic damping cancellation kit is included as part of the package for this fitment.
