XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — BMW I8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2014-2020

The i8 launches off its electric front axle, so the BM102-C arrives at the line with instant torque to the nose and a turbo three-cylinder feeding the rear – a split that punishes any damper unable to manage weight transfer cleanly. That is exactly what these XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilovers are built to control. This is the dedicated 0-400 setup for the BMW i8, supplied with the cancellation kit that bypasses the car’s factory electronic adaptive damping so a conventional coilover can be fitted at all.

Because the i8 ships with electronically controlled dampers wired into the car, you cannot simply bolt on a standard coilover. The included cancellation module is the part that makes this swap possible, suppressing the fault state the chassis would otherwise throw when the OEM units are removed.

What this coilover kit does for your 2014-2020 Bmw I8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

On a drag pass the i8’s hybrid all-wheel-drive system wants every newton planted, and this setup is tuned to bias load toward the driven tyres the instant you launch. The damping is set to load the contact patch hard and hold it, cutting the wheelspin and idle slip that bleed off a 60-foot time. Ride height comes down over the i8’s carbon tub for a lower centre of gravity, and the firmer rates keep the heavy battery mass from pitching the car around mid-run. The result is a more repeatable launch and steadier behaviour as speed climbs down the strip.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing builds the Drag Racing series specifically for straight-line 0-400 work across front, rear and four-wheel-drive platforms – the i8’s through-the-road 4WD layout sits squarely in that brief. The valving is configured to shift weight between the front and rear axles in real time as the car launches and accelerates, deliberately forcing greater compression into the driven tyres. That extra loading reduces the idle time of the wheel as it hooks up and improves stability once the car is travelling at speed. It is a focused tool, set for the drag environment rather than circuit or fast-road compromise.

Fitment for the Bmw I8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2014-2020)

This kit is matched to the i8 4WD under chassis code BM102-C, covering the 2014 to 2020 model run. The electronic damping cancellation kit is included as part of the package, addressing the factory adaptive dampers fitted to this platform.
