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

The W222 S-Class left the factory floating on AIRMATIC air springs, and that is the system this XYZ Racing coilover kit is built to replace. On the non-MBC, rear-drive cars it targets, those air struts are the part owners come to dread as the warranty runs out: replacement is eye-watering, and on a car now past ten years old, failure is a question of when, not if.

Switching the 2014-2020 S Class W222 to a mechanical coilover gives you a fixed setup you control by hand – ride height set on a thread, damping you can actually tune. For a near two-tonne limousine softly sprung to glide, that is the difference between body-controlled and seasick over a crested B-road.

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

A long, heavy saloon like the W222 leans on its dampers more than most cars, and the factory air tune trades control for plushness. A coilover with proper rebound control settles that body motion so the nose stops diving under braking and the tail stops squatting on throttle. Threaded ride-height adjustment lets you drop the considerable visual bulk of the S-Class to a stance that suits the car without the air system second-guessing you at every speed change. You also escape the air strut as a recurring cost: one mechanical part, height locked where you set it, no compressor or level sensors to fail.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range for the W222

XYZ Racing builds this platform as a family rather than a single part, so the spec follows the use case. Super Sport and Street Advanced suit a fast-road W222 that still has to cover motorway miles in comfort; Top Sport, Racing Spec and Circuit Master step up damping and rate for owners taking the chassis onto track; Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Pro Rally cover stage and loose-surface work, while Drift Spec is set up for sustained slip angle. Each runs a height-adjustable threaded body so you can corner-balance and set ride height independently of spring preload, which matters on a car this heavy where corner weights are far from even.

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

This kit is specified for the W222 S Class, chassis code ME63, across the 2014 to 2020 production span.

Confirm your car is the non-MBC, two-wheel-drive specification before ordering.
