XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) 2016-2026

The 488 GTB’s mid-engined, twin-turbo V8 layout puts roughly 1,475kg over a wheelbase that punishes lazy damping – lift off mid-corner and the rear rotates faster than most owners expect from a Ferrari. The factory magnetic dampers do a fine job until you start asking the car to do more than cruise to a concours, at which point the compromise becomes obvious. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Ferrari 488 GTB is built for owners who want to take the chassis past its standard remit without surrendering the manners that make a 488 liveable on a UK B-road.

This is the FE03-fitment kit for cars equipped with the factory hydraulic nose lift – kept intact, because losing the lift on a 488 with a UK speed-bump density is a non-starter. Spring rates, damping curves and ride height all become yours to set.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Ferrari 488 GTB

Drop the nose by 20-30mm and the 488 stops looking like it’s on stilts; more importantly, the roll centre comes back to where the geometry actually wants it. The 720-way damping range is wide enough that you can run a genuinely supple setting for a Sunday road drive, then firm everything up for a Bedford or Donington session without touching a spanner. Turn-in sharpens, mid-corner roll calms, and the rear axle stops feeling like it’s hunting for grip on lumpy surfaces. Under hard braking into a quick second-gear corner, the front end stays composed rather than diving and unloading the rears. The hydraulic lift continues to work as Ferrari intended, so driveway lips, multi-storey ramps and speed humps remain non-events.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ’s most popular series and the product the company’s engineering team has refined over years of development. It has been tested in international race environments before being signed off for road use, and the brief is specifically split between normal road driving and occasional track day work – not a stripped-back circuit weapon, but not a soft cruiser either. The 720 damping adjustment positions give a usable spread between comfort and control rather than the binary on/off feel that cheaper coilovers default to. Construction is matched to the 488’s chassis loads, and ride-height adjustment is independent of preload so you can drop the car without compromising shock travel. For drivers chasing speed and finer chassis control without giving up daily usability, it is one of the few honest answers in the category.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is the FE03-coded fitment for the 488 GTB, covering model years 2016 through 2026, and is specified for cars fitted with the factory hydraulic front lift system (control system not included). Confirm the lift hardware on your car before ordering – the non-lift 488 takes a different part.
