XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ferrari 458 / 458 Spider (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2010-2015

The Ferrari 458’s factory magnetorheological damping is brilliant when it works and a five-figure headache when it doesn’t. Owners running the 458 and 458 Spider into 2026 are increasingly looking at conventional coilover conversions to escape the electronic damping system entirely – not as a downgrade, but as a way to keep a mid-engined V8 Ferrari on the road without being held hostage by a discontinued ECU.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the FE06-C 458 is built around exactly that scenario. It includes the cancellation kit for the electronic damping circuit and is specified for cars equipped with the hydraulic front-axle lift (excluding the control system), so the front-end clearance hardware on your 458 stays operational while the active damping is retired in favour of a serviceable, fully adjustable mechanical setup.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2015 Ferrari 458 / 458 Spider

Swapping out the magnetic dampers gives you back control of how a 4.5-litre flat-plane V8 feels under your right foot. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you firm up the front for circuit use at Bedford or Anglesey, then back it off for the drive home without the dashboard warning lights that come with an ageing magneto-rheological system. Ride height is independently adjustable, so the 458’s already low nose can be set sensibly to clear UK speed bumps with the hydraulic lift doing the rest. The mid-engined balance the 458 was famous for – the way it pivots from the centre rather than scrubbing from the nose – stays intact, just with damping you can actually tune to the surface in front of you.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and weekend-track damper. Construction is a height-adjustable coilover assembly with 36 clicks of bump-and-rebound adjustment on a single knob, giving a usable spread between a compliant daily setting and a much firmer track configuration. The damper is designed to absorb the discomfort of broken UK B-roads and motorway expansion joints at the soft end of the range, then tighten up to handle repeated heavy braking and direction changes when you’re on a circuit. This particular FE06-C kit is supplied with the electronic damping cancellation harness, so the conversion is a clean mechanical swap rather than a bodge.

Fitment for the Ferrari 458 / 458 Spider (2010-2015)

This kit fits the FE06-C 458 coupé and 458 Spider built between 2010 and 2015, specifically cars equipped with the factory hydraulic front-end lift but excluding the lift control system. The cancellation kit covers the OEM electronic damping circuit. Confirm your car’s lift specification before ordering – the Spider’s hydraulic lift retention is the key variable.
