XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Maserati GHIBLI M157 2013-2026

The M157 Ghibli wears its weight high and forward of the bulkhead, and that is the single biggest thing a coilover has to manage on this car. Whether it’s the 3.0 V6 twin-turbo petrol or the 3.0 V6 diesel sitting over the front axle, the standard skyhook damping was tuned for boulevards and motorway miles, not for sustained loaded cornering or the surface changes you get on a UK B-road stage.

The XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilover for the Maserati Ghibli M157 is the spec built for that brief. It is a rally-derived damper aimed at sealed-surface stage work and committed road driving, where the car needs to absorb mid-corner bumps without losing platform.

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

Drop the standard air-and-skyhook setup and the Ghibli starts to feel like the four-door GT it always wanted to be. Body roll is contained without making the car feel locked-down, so the front end keeps its weight planted through the apex instead of washing wide on entry. The 30-way damping adjustment lets you set the car softer for poorly-surfaced lanes and firmer when you find a clean piece of road, all from the same hardware. Height adjustment lets you bring the ride height down to close the arch gap without slamming the car onto its bumpstops, which is where most lowering kits ruin the M157’s compliance. The platform feels more responsive on turn-in and more stable under heavy braking from speed.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

Tarmac Rally is XYZ Racing’s stage-spec damper for sealed-surface use, sitting above the Circuit Master in compliance and below the Gravel Rally in travel. Construction is twin-tube with a high-pressure gas charge to resist fade through long, fast sequences of corners. Spring rates are matched to a heavy front-engined saloon platform like the Ghibli, so the rates are firm enough to control mass transfer without overwhelming the chassis. The 30-way damping adjuster covers bump and rebound together, which keeps tuning straightforward for owners who don’t want to live in the setup data. Pillowball top mounts at the front sharpen steering response and remove the rubber-bushing slack that softens initial inputs on the OE setup. Ride height adjusts via the lower bracket rather than spring preload, so you can drop the car without losing damper stroke.
