Ferrari 488 GTB (without hydraulic lift system) 2016-2026 — Coilovers

The 488 GTB carries its 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8 behind the cabin, and that rearward mass is the single biggest factor in how the car loads its rear tyres through a quick direction change. Ferrari shipped it on magnetorheological dampers that read the road and adapt on the fly – effective, but sealed to a calibration you cannot touch. The XYZ Racing coilover range for the Ferrari 488 GTB hands that control back to you, with manually adjustable ride height and damping built around the chassis as it sits without the front hydraulic lift system.

This is the configuration for owners running the standard nose height rather than the lift-equipped front axle, which changes the strut packaging up front. Pick the series that matches how the car is used: a fast-road set-up that keeps the ride civil on a B-road, or a stiffer circuit specification for track days where flat body control matters more than outright compliance.

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

Lowering the 488 GTB closes the gap between arch and tyre that the standard ride height leaves, and drops a centre of gravity the mid-mounted V8 already keeps low. Set the height to suit the surface you drive and you get a flatter platform braking into a slow corner, less nose dive, and a rear that stays planted as the turbos spool on exit. Independent damping adjustment lets you firm up for a smooth circuit or soften for a broken road without touching the spring. The car turns in with more precision and loses the float that adaptive dampers fall back on at their softest settings. Corner-weighting across all four perches lets you balance a machine this sensitive to load.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

XYZ Racing build these as a full coilover system – matched springs and dampers that replace the factory ride hardware, not a spacer or spring-only lowering kit. The range spans nine specifications for the 488 GTB, from Street Advanced and Super Sport for road-biased cars, through Top Sport and Circuit Master for drivers who spend real time on circuit, up to Racing Spec at the sharpest end of track use. Each shares the same core principle: height adjustment that is independent of damper travel, so you lower the car without giving up usable stroke, plus adjustable damping to tune how the chassis reacts to inputs. Drift Spec and the rally-derived specifications round out the catalogue for owners with more specialised needs. The right choice comes down to how hard, and where, the car is driven – the heavier the track use, the further up the range you move.

Fitment for the Ferrari 488 GTB (2016-2026)

This kit is specified for the Ferrari 488 GTB, chassis code FE03-1, across the 2016 to 2026 range. It is the variant for cars without the front hydraulic lift system – if your car has the factory nose-lift fitted, the front packaging differs and you need the lift-compatible listing instead. Confirm your year and front-axle specification before ordering.
