XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ferrari 488 GTB (without hydraulic lift system) 2016-2026

The 488 GTB without the factory nose-lift is the configuration owners pick when they’re serious about driving the car rather than parking it – and it’s the configuration that benefits most from a proper coilover. Ferrari’s stock magnetorheological setup is brilliant on smooth tarmac, but it was tuned around a chassis that prioritises GT compliance over circuit precision, and the F154 twin-turbo V8 puts down 660bhp through a rear axle that asks a lot of its dampers when you start using all of it.

The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover gives a 488 owner a genuine ride-height and damping platform without losing the road manners that make these cars liveable. Fast-road first, weekend-track capable – which matches how almost every UK-registered 488 actually gets used.

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

Drop the nose 15-25mm and the 488 stops looking like it’s running on stilts over its 20-inch wheels, and the centre of gravity drops with it – useful on a mid-engined car that already lives or dies on weight transfer through quick direction changes. The 36-way damping range is where the real work gets done: you can soften the rebound enough to absorb broken B-road surfaces around the Cotswolds without the chassis getting upset, then wind it stiffer for a Goodwood trackday and have a car that no longer pitches under heavy braking into Madgwick. The Super Sport’s monotube construction and adjustable preload mean the rear axle keeps the contact patch loaded under power-on exit, which is exactly where a turbocharged mid-engined Ferrari either rewards you or punishes you.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road-and-weekend-track damper, engineered to take the harshness out of poor surfaces while still giving the driver real adjustability. 36-way damping adjustment is the headline number – one knob, one rebound-and-compression sweep, no guesswork. Ride height adjusts independently of spring preload, so you can sit the car correctly without binding the spring or running out of bump travel. Construction is built around a high-pressure monotube body with a separate gas chamber, which is the configuration that holds up to repeated heat cycles when you string a session of laps together. The Super Sport’s brief is genuinely dual-purpose: comfortable enough that the car remains usable on a Sunday drive to Caffeine & Machine, capable enough that you’re not chasing fade after three flying laps.
