XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Aston Martin RAPIDE S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2026

The Rapide S left Gaydon with Aston Martin’s Adaptive Damping System managing every rebound and compression event through its ECU – a system calibrated for motorway composure in a car that weighs north of 1,900 kg. The XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover cuts that electronic loop out of the equation entirely, and the cancellation hardware built into this fitment ensures the CAN bus stays quiet once the factory ADS sensors lose their original dampers.

Put a V12 Rapide on a rally stage and the physics are exactly what you’d expect: substantial mass over a long wheelbase, rear weight bias from the transaxle layout, and an appetite for suspension travel that anything built around smooth tarmac simply won’t accommodate. The Pro Rally specification is designed for gravel and snow stages, where compliance and articulation matter as much as controlled stiffness.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin Rapide S

Replacing the adaptive dampers with fixed rally-specification units removes a layer of ECU intervention that no stage environment benefits from. The driver reads the terrain directly rather than through a software algorithm interpreting sensor data. For a Rapide S campaigned in GT class rally or hill climb, the compliance the Pro Rally construction provides handles the suspension travel that gravel and ruts demand – without the geometry-compromising compression that a circuit-biased coilover would suffer under the same conditions. The AS01-C fitment with the cancellation module means the conversion is self-contained: no persistent warning lights, no adaptive modes ghosting through the architecture.

About the Pro Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Pro Rally range covers two distinct installation philosophies. The first – the amateur specification – installs directly onto the original chassis geometry without structural modification to the body. The second is a professional specification intended for cars where the shell itself has been prepared and altered for competition. This Rapide S fitment follows the direct-install approach: it bolts to the AS01-C chassis mounts as they stand, with the electronic cancellation system addressing the ADS dependency Aston Martin built into the car’s architecture. Damper construction and valving are specific to gravel and snow rally use, prioritising travel and compliance over the compression rates you would specify for a tarmac circuit or a road-biased lowering kit. These are not coilovers designed to drop ride height for aesthetics – they are a competition suspension system for a car being used in competition.

Fitment for the Aston Martin RAPIDE S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2013-2026)

This kit is engineered specifically for the AS01-C chassis in its Cancellation Kit configuration, addressing the factory Adaptive Damping System fitted to the Rapide S from 2013 through the end of the production cycle. Confirm your car carries standard ADS before ordering; the cancellation module is integral to this fitment and is not a separate optional component.
