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

The 488 GTB carries its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 behind the cabin, planting mass directly over the driven rear axle – precisely the weight bias a standing-start setup exists to exploit. This XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover kit for the Ferrari 488 GTB is built for the 0-400 launch and the consistency a strip demands, not for chasing apexes on a B-road.

It is the variant configured with the front hydraulic lift retained (control system excluded) and a cancellation kit that lets you delete the car’s factory magnetorheological damping and run a fixed, predictable damper in its place. The goal is narrow and clear: get the rear contact patches loaded off the line and keep the FE03-C settled as terminal speed climbs.

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

On launch, the Drag Racing setting biases how load moves from front to rear, so more weight arrives over the driven tyres the instant the clutch bites – that compression is what cuts wheelspin and shortens the time the rear axle spends scrabbling for grip. Ride-height adjustment lets you set static rake for the launch you want, while the retained front nose lift keeps a low splitter clear of paddock kerbs and trailer ramps. Cancelling the electronic damping removes the dashboard fault state and gives you a damper rate that stays constant through a full pass rather than shifting under the factory adaptive logic. The result is a 488 that hooks up harder and holds a straighter line as the V8 piles on boost.

About the Drag Racing coilover

The XYZ Racing Drag Racing series is engineered specifically for 0-400 standing-start work, with settings developed to suit FWD, RWD and 4WD layouts. On the rear-drive 488 GTB it manages front-to-rear weight transfer during instant acceleration, forcing greater compression into the driven tyres so they bite rather than spin, which reduces the idle time of the wheel off the line. As speed builds, the same damping calibration is tuned to hold the car stable at the top end. Height is adjustable for launch rake, the kit integrates the front hydraulic lift hardware, and the electronic damping cancellation module keeps the standard ECU happy once the adaptive dampers are removed.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit fits the Ferrari 488 GTB, chassis code FE03-C, across the 2016-2026 year span. It is the specific build for cars equipped with the factory hydraulic nose lift (control system excluded) and adaptive electronic damping – the supplied cancellation kit removes that system. Confirm your 488 carries both the factory magnetorheological dampers and the front lift before ordering this variant.
