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

The 488 GTB’s twin-turbo flat-plane V8 makes 661bhp behind the driver, and the factory magnetorheological dampers were tuned to flatter that powertrain on road as much as track. Strip the electronic damping out for a fixed mechanical setup and you’re after something more honest – direct feedback from the road, and a chassis that responds to what you tell it rather than what an ECU thinks you meant.

The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover for the Ferrari 488 GTB is the kit for that conversion. This is the variant for cars without the front-axle hydraulic lift system, and it ships with the cancellation harness needed to retire the OEM electronic damper signal cleanly. The setup is intended for owners running occasional track days with the car still usable on the road home.

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

Spring rates lifted around 2kg/mm above street tune, with damping wound 30-50% firmer, change how a mid-engined Ferrari loads its tyres. The 488’s rear weight bias – and the way the turbo torque arrives on corner exit – puts huge demand on the rear contact patch. Stiffening the chassis the right way pins the rear axle down through the squat phase, sharpens turn-in at the nose, and stops the body float that the standard adaptive setup allows when you’re pushing for consecutive flying laps.

You also get a fixed reference point to set up against. With the electronic damping cancelled, what you feel at lap three is what you feel at lap thirty. That predictability is what makes a fast 488 quick all day, not just for one hero lap.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s track-day-with-road-manners platform, and every setting comes from the company’s own race programme. Damping is set roughly 30-50% firmer than the street tune and springs run around 2kg/mm stiffer, a pairing chosen to absorb impact from broken pavement and high-speed kerb strikes without letting the body shock through to the chassis. The point is to suppress unwanted body motion and load the tyres harder for traction, rather than chase outright stiffness. XYZ describes the kit as suitable for track use and aggressive driving, and that bracket is what the spring and damper rates have been validated against.
