XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ferrari CALIFORNIA (Both front and rear top mount are 4 holes) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2008-2014

The Ferrari California’s front-mid-mounted V8 and folding hardtop give it a kerb weight north of 1,700kg with a rearward bias most owners feel as a slightly lazy front end on turn-in and a tendency to ride flat-but-soft on UK B-roads. Factory magnetorheological damping handles motorway miles beautifully and then runs out of body control the moment the surface gets interesting. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover replaces that adaptive system entirely, using the supplied cancellation kit to silence the dash warning and hand damping authority back to the driver.

This is the fast-road-and-occasional-track spec in the XYZ range, built around a 36-way damping dial and full ride-height adjustment. It is the right pick for a California owner who wants the car to actually corner at the pace its 4.3-litre V8 suggests, without throwing away the long-distance manners that made them buy a front-engined Ferrari in the first place.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Ferrari California

Set up softer end of the 36-click range, the Super Sport restores the compliant, planted feel the California should have over expansion joints and ridged asphalt – the kind of surfaces where the OEM electronic damper either floats or hits a wall. Wind the damping clicks up and the nose loads cleanly into the apex, which is the single biggest change you will feel: less front-end lag, less mid-corner roll, more useful steering weight off-centre. Drop the ride height a few millimetres and the visual stance finally matches the bodywork’s intent, with the four-hole front and rear top mounts bolting directly to the factory tower pattern. The cancellation kit means no fault codes, no limp-mode behaviour, no chasing a fix every time the car goes in for service.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper, engineered specifically to eliminate the harshness that creeps into stiffer track-only setups over poor surfaces. It carries the same 36-way damping adjustment as the rest of the range, with one knob controlling combined bump and rebound across the click range so the setup stays predictable as you sweep through it. Ride height is fully adjustable on the body of the damper rather than via spring perch alone, which preserves shock travel – important on a heavy GT where running out of stroke ruins the ride first and the handling second. Construction is the XYZ standard of CNC-machined alloy bodies with rebuildable, reservoir-free inserts. The brief from XYZ is explicit: a single damper that earns its keep on a Sunday road, a Cat-and-Fiddle run, and a weekend at Donington, without three separate setup sessions in between.
