XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The 488 GTB was never built with loose-surface competition in mind. Its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, mid-engined balance and factory magnetorheological dampers were tuned for circuit precision and grand-touring polish – which is precisely the problem when a privateer wants to take a F142M-platform car onto gravel or snow. The XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover for the FE03-C chassis is the answer to a very specific question: how do you turn a road-biased mid-engined Ferrari into something that survives a Tarmac-to-gravel stage transition without shaking itself apart.

This is a rally-spec damper for the 2016-2026 488 GTB, supplied with the cancellation kit for the factory electronic damping and intended for cars whose hydraulic lift system has been retained but disconnected from the OE damper control. It is a competition part, not a fast-road compromise.

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

Loose-surface dampers solve problems road suspension cannot. The Pro Rally setup delivers the long stroke and high-speed damping authority needed to keep all four 488 contact patches loaded over compressions, kerbs and broken camber – the moments where a circuit-tuned magnetorheological setup would either run out of travel or transmit the impact straight into the chassis. Expect the front end to track over surface changes rather than skip across them, and expect the rear to stay planted under throttle on exits where the 488’s torque delivery would otherwise overwhelm a road damper. Because the magneride control is bypassed via the supplied cancellation kit, the ECU stops fighting the new hardware and the car behaves consistently from stage to stage. Ground clearance, droop and bump can be set for the surface in front of you rather than the one Maranello expected.

About the Pro Rally coilover

XYZ Racing splits its rally programme into two tiers, and the Pro Rally sits at the top of that hierarchy. Where the Amateur-grade rally suspension is built to install directly onto the original chassis with minimal preparation, the Pro Rally is the professional-grade variant – designed to be fitted after the car body has been modified for competition use. That distinction matters on a car like the 488 GTB, where serious gravel or snow work demands chassis preparation around mounting points, clearances and load paths rather than a bolt-in retrofit. The damper itself is a long-travel, high-flow rally piece tuned for the energy inputs of gravel and snow rather than smooth asphalt. The cancellation kit included with this fitment severs the factory electronic damper control loop cleanly, so the new hardware operates as a fully mechanical, externally adjustable unit.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit fits the FE03-C chassis 488 GTB built between 2016 and 2026, specifically the variant equipped with the factory hydraulic nose lift retained alongside the cancellation kit for the electronic damping. It is sold without the control system. Confirm that your car has the lift hardware fitted and that you are running, or planning to run, a bypassed magneride configuration before ordering.
