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

The W222 S-Class was engineered around Mercedes’ AIRMATIC and Magic Body Control hardware, and that’s exactly the problem owners run into a decade in. Once the air struts start sagging or the electronic damping module throws codes, the OEM repair bill climbs into territory that makes the car uneconomic to keep on the road. The Street Advanced coilover for the 4WD W222 sidesteps that whole ecosystem.

This is the non-MBC hydraulic application with the cancellation kit bundled in, so the conversion from electronic damping to fully mechanical coilovers is a complete swap rather than a parts-bin scavenge. For a 2,000kg-plus saloon riding on a 4MATIC driveline, the Street Advanced sits in the sweet spot between long-distance comfort and the body control the chassis was never quite given from the factory at speed.

What this coilover does for your 2014-2020 Mercedes Benz S CLASS W222 4WD

The W222 has always been a soft car – that’s the brief – but soft on knackered air springs becomes wallowing, uneven, and unsettling at motorway speeds. Swapping to the Street Advanced gives you 30 levels of damping adjustment to recover the long-wheelbase composure these cars are meant to glide on, without locking yourself into a single ride characteristic. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, so you can drop the nose to close the wheel-arch gap that flatters the W222’s profile without compromising the front-axle travel a 4MATIC car needs over expansion joints. The result is a car that rides flatter through fast sweepers, doesn’t pitch under braking the way tired air struts do, and feels planted rather than floaty at autobahn pace.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s road-biased platform, built around a single-tube damper body with 30-stage compression and rebound adjustment on a single click dial. The springs are matched to the chassis weight and intended use rather than carried over from a generic catalogue, which matters on a car as heavy as a W222 saloon. Camber-adjustable top mounts are included where the OE geometry allows, giving you the ability to recover negative camber after lowering. The cancellation kit supplied with this part number signals to the W222’s chassis ECU that the electronic damping system is no longer present, which clears the dash warnings the car would otherwise throw the moment the AIRMATIC loom is unplugged.

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

This kit is built specifically for the W222 chassis in 4MATIC form, year span 2014 to 2020, internal application code ME65-C. It is the non-MBC hydraulic variant – fitment is for cars without Magic Body Control’s hydraulic actuators – and the electronic damping cancellation module is included in the box so no separate part needs sourcing.
