XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) 2016-2026

Launching 661bhp of twin-turbo V8 from a standstill is the Ferrari 488 GTB’s party trick, and the mid-engine FE03 platform already loads its driven rear axle better than almost anything front-engined. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover is built around that advantage: a kit tuned for 0 to 400 metre runs, where the only thing that counts is how cleanly the rear tyres convert boost into forward motion.

This is the version for 488 GTBs fitted with the factory hydraulic nose lift, so you keep the front-axle raise for ramps and paddock kerbs while running a dedicated launch-focused damper underneath. It is a single-purpose setup aimed at shorter elapsed times, not a softened daily ride.

What this coilover kit does for your 2016-2026 Ferrari 488 GTB

Off the line, the kit biases weight onto the rear contact patches the moment drive is taken up, pressing the driven tyres into the tarmac so the twin-turbo V8’s surge becomes grip rather than wheelspin. That matters on a 488, where torque arrives low and hard and the rear axle has to absorb all of it at once. Cutting the slip and dead time in the first few metres trims the part of the run where elapsed time is actually won. Through the traps, the damping is set to keep the car settled at three-figure speeds, so the nose stays planted as aero load builds. The result is a 488 GTB that hooks up predictably and tracks straight when it is pulling hardest.

About the Drag Racing coilover

The Drag Racing coilover sits at the specialist end of the XYZ Racing range, developed for straight-line 0 to 400 metre competition rather than circuit or fast-road use. Its governing idea is weight management: the setup is tuned to throw load onto whichever wheels put the power down – rear, front or all four depending on the platform – and on the rear-drive 488 GTB that means loading the back axle the instant the clutch and torque bite. By forcing the drive tyres into greater compression, it reduces the wheel idle and slip that bleed away time at the start of a run. The same calibration is intended to steady the car as speed climbs, keeping it composed deep into the run. This is a focused competition tool, chosen for elapsed times rather than breadth of use.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is mapped to the FE03-chassis Ferrari 488 GTB across the full 2016 to 2026 model span. It is the specific variant for cars equipped with the factory hydraulic lift (control system excluded), so the front nose-raise function is retained alongside the drag-tuned dampers. Confirm your car carries the hydraulic lift hardware before ordering, since the non-lift 488 takes a different fitment.
