XYZ Racing Racing Spec Coilovers — Maserati GHIBLI M157 2013-2026

The Ghibli M157 is a two-tonne saloon riding on an air-and-steel platform that was never really set up for the way British roads collapse into broken tarmac and roundabout camber changes. XYZ Racing’s Racing Spec coilover replaces that compromise with a fully adjustable monotube setup designed for owners who want the M157 to drive like the GT it was billed as, not the soft executive cruiser it left Modena as.

This is the firmer end of the XYZ catalogue, aimed at Ghibli owners who track their car occasionally or simply want sharper turn-in and a flatter cornering attitude on fast B-roads. It is not the right pick for a daily-driver who wants OEM ride comfort – look at the Super Sport for that.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Maserati Ghibli M157

The M157 carries a long bonnet over a front-mounted V6 (or V8 in the Trofeo), and the standard suspension lets that mass pitch under braking and roll on quick direction changes. The Racing Spec replaces both behaviours with a monotube damper that controls weight transfer without crashing over expansion joints. You get 30-way damping adjustment, so the front and rear can be balanced independently to take some of the understeer out of the chassis. Ride height is fully adjustable on the lower bracket, which means corner balancing is possible without preloading the springs – important on a saloon this heavy, where uneven spring perch loads will eat into front-end feel within a few thousand miles.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec uses a single-tube damper body with a large piston area, paired with linear-rate springs selected for the M157’s kerb weight and front-biased layout. The 30-click damping adjuster sits on top of each strut and controls rebound and compression on a single circuit, which keeps setup straightforward at a track day without the second-guessing that twin-adjustable kits invite. Spring perches are anodised aluminium to resist seizing in UK winter salt, and the lower mounts are pillowball at the front to remove the rubber compliance that blurs steering feel on the standard car. Damper bodies are rebuildable and revalvable, so the kit can be re-specced if the car’s use changes over time.

Fitment for the Maserati GHIBLI M157 (2013-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the M157 chassis Ghibli, covering the 2013-2026 production span across the standard, S, SQ4 and Trofeo variants. Confirm your car carries conventional steel-spring suspension at both axles before ordering – cars optioned with adaptive air components at the rear need a different specification.
