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

The Aston Martin Rapide S’s Adaptive Damping System is factory-fitted hardware, not a feature you can simply work around – and on a car of this weight and specification, fitting coilovers without addressing it means dashboard warnings and compromised electronics rather than improved handling. This Circuit Master build ships as a complete package: the coilovers themselves, and the cancellation kit that neutralises the OEM electronic dampers, letting mechanical setup take over cleanly.

Rapide S owners taking this to a circuit are starting from an interesting baseline. The V12 front-mid engine paired with a rear transaxle gearbox gives near-50:50 weight distribution, but the car is pushing approximately 1,990 kg – heavier than many manufacturers’ full-size executive saloons. The factory ADS tuning was developed for long-distance continental driving, not repeated lap sequences; the softness that makes the Rapide S absorbing on the autoroute is exactly what undermines confidence in corner sequences where trail-braking precision matters.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Aston Martin RAPIDE S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

With the OEM electronic damping cancelled and mechanical coilovers in place, the Rapide S’s handling character shifts substantially. The rear transaxle layout responds well to precisely damped setups – too soft on the rear and that rearward mass encourages oversteer under load; too stiff and you sacrifice traction out of slower corners. The Circuit Master’s 9,720-way adjustment envelope gives meaningful resolution across that range rather than a handful of positions between too-soft and too-hard. Independent ride-height adjustment allows the centre of gravity to drop without fouling the Rapide S’s bodywork, and the three-knob control architecture provides a level of tuning granularity you cannot achieve with a single adjuster – relevant when managing weight transfer through a car of this mass.

About the Circuit Master coilover

The Circuit Master is XYZ Racing’s competition-focused specification: the same platform developed for Racing Spec, Drift Spec, and Tarmac Rally use, refined through XYZ’s own racing programme at circuits across multiple continents. The 9,720 individual adjustment combinations are derived from three independent control knobs, each offering finely incremented steps across their travel. The oil-circuit design uses a small-bore passage to manage damper fluid under extreme bump inputs; at high loads this produces minor audible feedback from the dampers, which is normal behaviour in hardware engineered for smooth circuit surfaces rather than broken road. Spring perch height and ride height are independently adjustable, so stance can be set without disturbing spring preload. The Circuit Master is not a dual-purpose road-track build; it is circuit hardware with the compliance trade-offs that sustained lap work demands, and buyers should approach it on those terms.

Fitment for the Aston Martin RAPIDE S (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2013-2026)

This listing covers the Aston Martin Rapide S to chassis code AS01-C across the 2013 to 2026 model span. The Adaptive Damping System cancellation kit is included as part of this listing – it is not a separate purchase. Confirm your chassis code and OEM damper specification against your VIN-decoded build sheet before ordering, as the original non-S Rapide uses different damper mount configurations.
