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

The W222 S-Class was engineered around Airmatic and, on the heavier V8 and V12 cars, the Magic Body Control hydraulic system – a setup that delivers magic-carpet ride at the cost of compressors, valve blocks and accumulators that fail expensively the moment the car crosses 60,000 miles. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover replaces that ageing air-and-hydraulic architecture on non-MBC, rear-wheel-drive W222 cars with a fully mechanical, 30-way adjustable damper kit that gives you back control of the chassis.

For a 2,000kg-plus luxury saloon, this is the fast-road answer to a tired air system: a kit designed to recover composure and stance on a chassis that started life soft, comfortable and increasingly unreliable as the years stack on.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S Class W222 (NON MBC Hydraulic Or 4WD)

Swap a leaking strut for a Super Sport coilover and the W222 stops floating over crests and stops squatting under throttle out of slip roads. The 30-way damping adjuster sits at the top of the unit, so you can run a softer setting for the M25 commute and firm it up for a B-road blast without crawling under the car. Ride height is independent of spring preload, which matters on a long-wheelbase saloon where you want stance without binding the dampers into their bump stops. The result is a chassis that finally turns in cleanly, holds a line through long sweepers, and stops nodding under heavy braking from motorway speeds – the things the original air suspension did when it was new and has long since stopped doing.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and occasional-track platform, built around a monotube damper body with a large-bore piston and a separate adjuster for compression and rebound combined into a single 30-click dial. Springs are linear-rate and matched to the kerb weight of the specific chassis, so a 2.1-tonne S-Class isn’t running the same spring as a Civic. Pillowball top mounts at the front allow camber adjustment that the standard W222 simply doesn’t offer, useful if you’ve gone wider on wheel and tyre. The bodies are anodised against UK winter salt, and the spring perches run on sealed bearings so height adjustment doesn’t seize the first time you try to corner-weight the car after a year on the road.

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

This kit fits the W222 generation S-Class built between 2014 and 2020, chassis code ME63, in rear-wheel-drive form only and only on cars without Magic Body Control hydraulic suspension. If your car is a 4MATIC, or carries the MBC option, this is not the right kit – check the build sticker in the driver’s door shut before ordering.
