XYZ Racing Circuit Master Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (without hydraulic lift system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The 488 GTB was already a circuit weapon from Maranello – 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8, sub-3-second 0-62, magnetorheological dampers managing a chassis that lives or dies on body control. The XYZ Racing Circuit Master is built for owners who’ve outgrown what the factory electronic damping can do once the track gets serious and tyre temperatures stay up across a full session.

This is the firmest, most adjustable spec in the XYZ catalogue, and it ships with the cancellation kit needed to decouple the 488’s electronic damping ECU so the chassis sees the new hardware cleanly. Strictly a circuit-focused fitment for the FE03-1-C chassis without the hydraulic nose lift.

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

Sustained lap-time work exposes things a road-biased setup hides: damper fade after six or seven hot laps, secondary ride that gets sloppy as oil temperatures climb, mid-corner attitude that drifts as the chassis loads up under aero. The Circuit Master is engineered specifically for that environment. The 9720 individual adjustment combinations – delivered through three separate knobs for high-speed compression, low-speed compression and rebound – give you the granularity to set the car up for Donington’s fast stuff one weekend and the kerb-strikes of Cadwell the next. You feel it in turn-in bite, in how the rear stays planted under power onto the straight, and in how confidently the front loads under heavy braking from triple-figure speeds.

About the Circuit Master coilover

The Circuit Master is XYZ’s competition-grade platform, shared in design philosophy with their Racing Spec, Drift Spec and Tarmac Rally builds. It has been developed and tested through XYZ racing teams worldwide on international circuits, with damping characteristics tuned for sustained heat cycling rather than road compliance. The 9720-way adjustment matrix is the headline number, but the real engineering story is the three-knob layout – separating high and low-speed compression from rebound lets you tune transient response independently of body control, which is what circuit drivers actually need. One thing worth knowing: the small oil-passage design that gives the damper its precision can produce a faint noise when driven over large impacts at low speed. That is the design working as intended for its purpose, not a fault – this coilover is built for smooth circuit surfaces, not broken B-roads.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

Specifically for the FE03-1-C chassis 488 GTB built without the factory hydraulic lift system. Includes the cancellation kit required to disable the electronic damping ECU so the coilover operates independently of the factory adaptive system. Year coverage spans 2016-2026.
