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

The 488 GTB’s twin-turbo F154CB sits behind the cabin with the gearbox slung behind it, and that mid-rear mass concentration is what makes the car so devastating on a circuit – and so sensitive to damper choice. Ferrari’s factory magnetorheological dampers are brilliant on road, but they were never designed for sustained 130mph kerb-strikes at Spa or repeat sessions at the Bedford GT layout. This is where the XYZ Racing Racing Spec coilover comes in, paired with the electronic damping cancellation kit so the OE control module stops throwing faults the moment you unplug the originals.

Pair this with the supplied hydraulic lift retention (the version excluding XYZ’s own control system) and you keep the front-axle nose-lift functionality you actually need to get the 488 GTB out of a multi-storey or over a steep apron – without the factory adaptive damping fighting the new hardware underneath.

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

Drop a set of Racing Spec dampers into a 488 GTB and the car stops behaving like a fast road supercar and starts behaving like the GT3 sibling it shares a silhouette with. Body roll under sustained lateral load drops sharply, which transforms how the rear axle communicates with the driver when you’re feeding torque in past the apex. Bump absorption over kerbs becomes deliberate rather than reactive – the chassis settles in one movement instead of two, and the front splitter stays at the height you set it. The cancellation kit means no dashboard warnings, no limp mode, no fight with the car’s brain. For owners running track days at Donington GP or pushing for time-attack laps at Cadwell, the gain is in the consistency of the chassis from lap one through lap fifteen, not in a single hot-lap headline.

About the Racing Spec coilover

Racing Spec is XYZ Racing’s circuit-only damper specification, developed and validated through direct participation in WTCC competition. Settings were derived on-circuit rather than in a lab, which is why the platform behaves predictably under the heat-soak and repeat-cycle loading that breaks softer road-biased coilovers. The damper architecture and spring rates are pitched for serious track and time-attack use, not for daily mileage. XYZ also offers custom-built shock absorbers within this same Racing Spec family – if your 488 GTB carries aggressive aero, an uprated brake package, or you’re targeting a specific circuit (Nordschleife BTG, Brands Hatch GP, Anglesey International), you can supply the upgrade list and the intended venue, and the dampers are built to suit. That bespoke route puts the Racing Spec range close in intent to the equipment fitted to factory racing vehicles and A-class race cars.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is built specifically for the Ferrari 488 GTB on chassis code FE03-C, covering the full 2016 to 2026 production and aftermarket window. The package includes the electronic damping cancellation kit so the factory adaptive system can be removed without throwing fault codes, and it retains the hydraulic front lift in its excl.-control-system configuration. Confirm your car carries the factory hydraulic lift before ordering.
