Ferrari 488 GTB (with hydraulic lift, excl.control system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026 — Coilovers

The 488 GTB left Maranello on SCM-E magnetorheological dampers, and that electronic control is exactly what makes a coilover swap on this car awkward. This XYZ Racing coilover system for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026) is a cancellation kit: it replaces the factory adaptive dampers with manually adjustable coilovers and adds the electronics that suppress the damping fault the cluster would otherwise throw. The hydraulic front-axle lift is retained – only the OEM damper control system is removed.

For a mid-engined, twin-turbo V8 car that sees ramps, B-roads and circuits in the same week, that gives you mechanical control of ride height and damping without living with a permanent warning light. Across the range – Street Advanced and Super Sport through Top Sport, Circuit Master and the Racing Spec – you choose the rate and valving that matches how the car actually gets used.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Ferrari 488 GTB

Lowering the 488 GTB tightens turn-in and closes the arch gap that the factory ride height leaves, while manual damping adjustment lets you firm the rear for traction off slow corners and soften the front for poor tarmac – control the magnetorheological setup hands to a drive-mode switch rather than to you. Adjustable ride height means you can corner-weight the car properly, something the OE adaptive system never exposes. On a circuit, a conventional damper holds its rate as oil temperature climbs, where the electronic units are tuned to a road compromise first. And because the cancellation electronics keep the dash quiet, you avoid the limp-mode nagging that usually follows a damper change on these cars.

About the coilover

The XYZ Racing range for the 488 GTB is built around the cancellation-kit principle: full coilovers paired with electronic emulation so the car’s damping ECU sees what it expects to see. Each option uses an adjustable damper body with independent ride-height and damping settings, so spring rate and valving are set for the chosen spec rather than one factory compromise. Lighter Street Advanced and Super Sport tunes lean toward road compliance; Top Sport, Circuit Master and Racing Spec move to stiffer rates and faster valving for track work; the Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally, Pro Rally and Drift Spec options exist for their named disciplines. The hydraulic nose lift carries over, so ground clearance over ramps and driveways is unaffected by the conversion.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is specific to the Ferrari 488 GTB, chassis code FE03-C, covering the 2016 to 2026 range. It is the variant for cars fitted with the hydraulic front lift, supplied without the OEM damper control system and including the cancellation electronics for the electronic damping. Confirm your car runs the factory adaptive (magnetorheological) dampers before ordering, as that is the system this kit replaces.
