XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Ferrari 812 (without hydraulic lift system) 2017-2026

The 812 Superfast’s front-mounted 6.5-litre V12 puts roughly 56 percent of the car’s mass over the front axle, and that’s the geometry every competent suspension setup has to negotiate. On a stock-suspension 812 the factory damping is set for usable speed across road and circuit; on a car booked for repeat sessions at Donington, Snetterton or a serious time-attack weekend, the standard hardware runs out of platform control before the front tyres do. The Racing Spec coilover replaces it with hardware developed in actual competition.

This is the variant for owners running an 812 without the nose-lift system, which means ride heights and spring rates can be set genuinely low without fighting the factory hydraulics. The use case here is narrow and honest: serious track and time-attack work on an FE09 chassis that already has the engine to back it up.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Ferrari 812 (without hydraulic lift system)

On the road back to the pits after a hot lap, a stock 812 feels composed; through a fast double-apex with the front tyres loaded under trail-brake, it starts asking you to manage the platform. The Racing Spec damping holds the nose flat into the apex, which means the contact patch stays planted and the front V12’s weight transfer becomes something you steer with rather than wait out. Rear squat under power-down out of slow corners is tightened, so the long wheelbase stops feeling like it’s pivoting around the gearbox. Brake dive is properly controlled – useful on a car that can be doing 180mph into Stowe and asking the front end to settle inside a hundred metres. The setup gives you a chassis that responds to driver input at the rate the powertrain demands.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is the circuit-only end of the XYZ range. Spring rates, damping curves and platform settings have been developed through direct participation in tin-top competition, including WTCC programmes – the data fed back into the off-the-shelf valving you receive. Construction is built around sustained high-load work: repeated heat cycles, kerb strikes and the kind of duty cycle that exposes a road coilover inside half a session. For owners running aggressive aero, slicks, or factory-style racing modifications, XYZ will produce custom-valved units to suit a stated package and a stated circuit – you supply the parts list and the venue, they build the dampers. Out of the box, this is hardware for drivers who are at the circuit to set times.

Fitment for the Ferrari 812 (Years 2017-2026)

This kit fits the FE09 chassis 812 across the 2017-2026 production run. Critically, it is the non-lift variant – the version for cars that left Maranello without the front hydraulic nose-lift system, or cars where that system has been removed. Confirm your car’s spec before ordering; the lift system fundamentally changes the front-end packaging.
