Aston Martin RAPIDE S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2026 — Coilovers

The Rapide S carries close to two tonnes on Aston Martin’s bonded-aluminium VH architecture, with a front-mid V12 and a rear-mounted transaxle splitting the mass almost evenly front to rear. That balance is the car’s great asset, but the factory adaptive dampers were tuned to guard ride comfort first, which leaves body control on a long-wheelbase four-door GT as the obvious thing to sharpen. This XYZ Racing coilover kit for the Aston Martin Rapide S (2013-2026) replaces those electronic dampers outright and ships with the cancellation kit that stops the car’s adaptive damping module logging a fault once they are gone.

What you gain is direct control over ride height and damping that the OEM ADS never gave you. Pick the spec that matches how you use the car – a settled fast-road tune, a firmer circuit lean, or something between the two from the range below.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin Rapide S

Lowering a car this long and this heavy does more than set stance. Dropping the Rapide S over standard ride height pulls the centre of gravity down and tightens the roll the VH platform allows through quick direction changes. Height-adjustable spring seats let you corner-balance the car properly rather than live with factory height, and independent damping adjustment restores the body control the adaptive system softened off in its comfort settings. With the V12 sitting ahead of the cabin, the front axle takes real load under braking – firmer, better-supported damping steadies that nose-down pitch and gives more confident turn-in than the standard car. Wind the setup back toward compliance for a motorway cruise, firm it up for a track day, all without the ADS warnings the cancellation kit suppresses.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

XYZ Racing builds this as a full coilover platform rather than one fixed tune, which is why the Rapide S kit is offered across nine specifications. Street Advanced and Super Sport sit at the fast-road end, prioritising a composed ride with sharper body control than standard. Top Sport, Circuit Master and Racing Spec move progressively toward circuit use, with stiffer rates and a firmer damping window for sustained hard driving. Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Pro Rally cover loose and mixed-surface work, while Drift Spec is set up for angle and slide. Every version is height-adjustable so you can set ride height and corner weights to suit the car, and all of them include the electronic damping cancellation kit specific to the Rapide S so the conversion stays clean. The common thread is a mechanical setup you control directly, in place of the sealed adaptive dampers.

Fitment for the Aston Martin Rapide S (2013-2026)

This kit is built for the Aston Martin Rapide S, chassis code AS01-C, across the full 2013 to 2026 model span. The cancellation kit is included specifically because this car leaves the factory with electronic adaptive damping that has to be told the dampers have changed. Confirm your exact build year against the configurator before ordering.
