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

The W222 S-Class was engineered around Airmatic and, on the higher trims, Magic Body Control – a system that reads the road ahead with stereo cameras and pre-loads the dampers accordingly. Strip that away and you are left with a 2-tonne luxury saloon whose chassis was never meant to sit on passive springs. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 (2014-2020) solves that problem with the cancellation kit baked in, so the car’s ECU stops throwing damper-fault warnings the moment you turn the key.

This is the fast-road and occasional-track spec in the XYZ range, aimed at owners running the rear-drive, non-MBC, non-hydraulic W222 who want to drop ride height, sharpen body control, and walk away from a brittle air-suspension repair bill that often runs into four figures.

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

Switching the W222 to a Super Sport coilover changes the car’s character without making it unusable on a long motorway run. Body roll through fast sweepers is reined in noticeably, and the front end loads more progressively under trail-braking – useful on a chassis whose long wheelbase tends to take a beat to settle. The 30-way damping adjuster gives you a workable range from a softer compliant setting for the daily commute to a firmer one for B-road work or a confidence-building airfield day. Ride-height adjustment is independent of spring preload, so you can drop the car for stance without coil-binding or pre-loading the spring into a harsh secondary ride. The cancellation module means no dash warnings, no limp-mode events, and no need to flash the SAM unit.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in the middle of XYZ Racing’s road-biased range and is built around a monotube damper body with a separated piston design, giving consistent damping force as oil temperature rises on a longer drive. Spring rates are matched to the platform’s weight rather than generic across a model line, which on a heavy saloon like the W222 is critical – undersprung coilovers on this car ride badly and bottom out over poor surfaces. The 30-step adjuster controls compression and rebound together via a single click-stop dial on top of the strut, so setup is straightforward without a damper dyno. Pillowball top mounts are used where the OEM geometry allows, sharpening steering response. The kit includes the electronic damping cancellation harness as standard, removing the need for third-party fault-code workarounds.

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

Designed for the W222 chassis built between 2014 and 2020, chassis code ME63-C, specifically for cars NOT equipped with MBC (Magic Body Control), hydraulic suspension, or 4MATIC. The cancellation kit for electronic damping is included so the original air-suspension or ADS control signal is handled cleanly at install.
