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

The Rapide S sits at an unusual junction: a four-door, V12 grand tourer of nearly 2,000kg that, thanks to its transaxle layout, achieves genuinely close to a 50/50 front-to-rear weight split. On the right circuit, that balance is a real asset. The obstacle is the factory Adaptive Damping System – a comfort-oriented setup that begins to feel compromised the moment the Rapide S is driven with real commitment.

Fitting coilovers to an ADS-equipped Rapide S normally means persistent fault codes and warning lights the moment the system loses contact with its original sensor-equipped dampers. This Racing Spec kit is supplied with the cancellation kit that resolves exactly that issue, leaving you with a clean instrument cluster and fully adjustable, fixed-rate damping that the ADS system can no longer interfere with.

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

The Rapide S’s long wheelbase – around 2,989mm – delivers high-speed stability but costs the car rotational agility in tighter sections. Lowering the centre of gravity and stiffening the damping addresses the body movement that the stock ADS settings permit, particularly in the mid-corner phase where the car’s mass becomes a liability. The Racing Spec’s adjustability lets you manage the V12’s nose weight at the front axle independently from rear compliance across rougher circuit kerbs and run-off areas. Removing the ADS dependency also means your suspension setup remains exactly what you specified before the session – not what an algorithm decided was comfortable on the drive to the circuit.

About the Racing Spec coilover

The Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s motorsport-grade tier. The damping settings here weren’t derived from road testing or simulation – they were developed through direct involvement in competition including WTCC, where conditions demand repeatable behaviour under sustained high-load use. For drivers running heavily modified Rapide S builds, or those targeting A-class competition, XYZ Racing extends the option of fully bespoke shock absorbers built to a specific brief: supply details of every significant upgrade on the car and the circuits you intend to run, and the specification can be constructed around exactly that combination. This is not a road-biased unit that moonlights on track days. Owners using the Rapide S predominantly on the road would find the Sport or Super Sport series the more appropriate choice.

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

This kit covers the Aston Martin Rapide S across its 2013-2026 production span under chassis code AS01-C. The cancellation kit is integral to the supply – it eliminates the fault codes that arise when the factory’s Adaptive Damping System sensors lose their original damper units, giving you a clean instrument cluster and a fully functional coilover installation from day one.
