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

The 488 GTB’s factory magnetorheological dampers are a brilliant piece of engineering until the moment you decide the car needs to sit lower, turn harder, and stop being a slave to Maranello’s three-mode software. That is the moment this kit exists for. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Ferrari 488 GTB replaces the electronic damper hardware entirely and supplies the cancellation kit needed to keep the dash quiet about it, while preserving the factory hydraulic nose-lift you actually want to keep on a car this low.

This is the fast-road and weekend-track spec in the XYZ range, sitting between the daily-biased Sport and the circuit-focused Top Sport. For a mid-engined twin-turbo V8 that weighs around 1370kg dry and puts 660bhp through the rear axle, that middle ground is where most 488 owners actually live.

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

The 488 carries a lot of mass behind the driver and rides on relatively soft factory springs to flatter the road. Step on it on a B-road and the nose goes light over crests; trail-brake into a fast right-hander and the rear takes a moment to settle. The Super Sport platform pulls that behaviour into line. Ride-height adjustment lets you drop the centre of gravity and dial out the SUV-ish factory rake, which sharpens turn-in without making the car nervous. The 36-way damping range means you can run a softer setting for the drive to a circuit and stiffen it materially once you arrive, rather than living with one compromise. Crucially, the included cancellation kit suppresses the magnetic-damper fault codes the 488’s ECU would otherwise throw the instant the factory units are unplugged – you keep a clean dash and a working hydraulic lift system for kerbs and ramps.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper engineered with rough-surface compliance built in – the brief was to remove the discomfort that aggressive coilovers usually inflict on bumpy roads while still giving the driver something to set up. It carries 36-way damping adjustment in a single combined knob, so compression and rebound move together across the range rather than asking the owner to balance two independent circuits. Ride height is fully adjustable on the threaded body. The hardware is built around a high-pressure monotube layout for consistent damping under heat, and the spring rates are pitched to suit a car that will see motorway miles on Monday and a session at Goodwood or Donington on Saturday. This is a daily-capable damper that genuinely scales up to weekend track use, not a one-trick stiff kit pretending to be civilised.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is specified for the 488 GTB chassis code FE03-C, model years 2016 to 2026, in the variant fitted with the factory hydraulic front-axle lift system. Because the OEM dampers are magnetic, the kit ships with the electronic damping cancellation module – this is not an optional extra. The hydraulic lift function is retained and continues to operate from the cabin button as standard.
