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

The Ferrari California’s front-engined GT layout and folding hard-top weight high in the chassis mean it leans on its dampers in ways a mid-engined 458 simply doesn’t. The factory magnetorheological setup is clever in isolation, but on a track it’s a closed system – you can’t change what Maranello decided the car should feel like at 1.2g. The Racing Spec coilover is the answer if you’ve decided you want to.

This is the build for owners running their California on circuit days and time-attack rather than as a weekend cruiser. It comes paired with the electronic damping cancellation kit, so the car’s ECU doesn’t fight the new hardware, and uses the correct 4-hole top mount pattern specific to this FE04-C variant.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Ferrari California

Swap the standard adaptive dampers for the Racing Spec setup and the California stops behaving like a grand tourer trying to be sharp, and starts behaving like a properly tied-down circuit car. Body movement on turn-in is controlled rather than damped-then-released, which is the trait that makes the OE car feel slightly disconnected when you push it. Mid-corner you can carry more speed because the platform is staying flat under the load of that front-mounted V8. Braking stability improves because the nose isn’t loading and unloading the front tyres in the same soft pattern. With the electronic damping cancellation kit fitted, the dash stays quiet and the car doesn’t throw the suspension warning that normally appears when you bypass the magneto-rheological loop.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s circuit-focused build, developed off the back of direct participation in series including the WTCC. The valving and spring rates are tuned for repeat lap work rather than fast-road compliance, so this isn’t a coilover that’s been softened to broaden its appeal. The damper internals carry settings derived from race-event data, with the option for fully custom builds if your California is running aggressive upgrades or you’re targeting a specific circuit. Talk to XYZ Racing with a parts list and a venue and they will spec the dampers to suit – that’s the level this product operates at. Construction is full-coilover with adjustable ride height, and the kit ships specifically for the 4-hole top-mount variant of the California.

Fitment for the Ferrari California (2008-2014)

This kit is built specifically for the FE04-C California where both the front and rear top mounts use the 4-hole pattern – confirm yours before ordering, as Ferrari ran more than one mount specification across the production run. The bundled cancellation kit handles the electronic damping system on the 2008-2014 cars.
