XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (without hydraulic lift system) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The 488 GTB was Ferrari’s pivot away from the naturally-aspirated 458 – a 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 dropped into a mid-engined chassis that Maranello calibrated around its magnetorheological dampers. Strip that electronic damping out of the equation and the F142M platform’s bones reveal themselves: a stiff aluminium spaceframe, near-perfect mid-engine weight distribution, and a front axle that will respond to whatever wheel control you ask of it. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Ferrari 488 GTB is the kit that lets a 488 owner take that conversation back from the factory ECU.

This specific part number is the cancellation-kit variant – built for 488 GTBs from 2016 to 2026 that left the factory without the hydraulic nose-lift and run electronic damping the owner wants to bypass. It includes the hardware to defeat the dash warnings from the deleted magnetic dampers, so the car sits, drives, and corners on the XYZ hydraulics alone. No ghost-error lights, no limp mode, no DIY can-bus surgery.

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

Going from magnetic dampers to a 30-way mechanical platform changes the 488’s character at low speed first. The ride stops feeling algorithmic and starts feeling mechanical – you read the road through the steering rack instead of through a software model. On a B-road the front axle bites earlier into the apex because the spring rate and damper curve are no longer hedging against a comfort map. On a circuit, a 488 GTB on full electronic damping is fast but slightly remote; on a properly set-up Street Advanced the rear rotation under throttle off the apex becomes something you steer with rather than something the car decides for you. Height adjustment lets you drop the stance to close the wheel-arch gap that bothers most 488 owners without resorting to lowering springs that wreck the geometry.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most heavily-developed road-and-track platform – a kit refined across years of testing with the XYZ race teams worldwide before being released for street use. The damper offers 30-way bump and rebound adjustment combined into 720 distinct damping settings, so the same kit covers a soft daily commute, a stiff B-road weekend, and a track-day setup without changing hardware. Height is fully adjustable independent of preload, which preserves shock stroke and stops the car bottoming out when it sits low. Construction is the high-pressure monotube format XYZ uses across its serious road kits, with hardened pistons and racing-grade oil specified for repeated thermal cycling. This is the platform XYZ describes as essential equipment for drivers chasing both speed and control – and on a 488, that combination is what the car was built to reward.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is specifically for the Ferrari 488 GTB chassis FE03-1-C produced between 2016 and 2026, configured without the factory hydraulic lift system. The "C" suffix denotes the cancellation-kit build, which includes the electronic damping bypass hardware required when deleting Ferrari’s magnetorheological dampers. Confirm your car has no factory nose-lift before ordering.
