XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Ferrari CALIFORNIA (Both front and rear top mount are 2 holes) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2008-2014

The Ferrari California’s factory magnetorheological dampers were clever in 2008, but seventeen years on they are the expensive failure point owners now plan around – and the electronic actuators tied to that system make a straight coilover swap an electrical headache as much as a mechanical one. The XYZ Racing Super Sport for the FE04-1-C chassis answers both problems at once: a 36-way adjustable, ride-height-adjustable damper sized specifically for the two-hole top-mount California, supplied with the cancellation kit that tells the car’s ECU to stop looking for the original adaptive damper signal.

For a front-engined GT that weighs the wrong side of 1,700 kg and carries its mass forward of the bulkhead, the appeal is straightforward. You get a damper you can actually tune, you get the stance back, and you get the dash light off.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Ferrari California

Adjustability is the headline here. The 36-way damping range lets you run the California softer than factory for a Sunday cross-country blast, then wind it firmer for an airfield day or a hillclimb without ever lifting the car off the floor. Ride height is genuinely adjustable too – useful on a car this low that has spent its life flinching at speed bumps and multi-storey ramps.

On the road, the move away from the ageing adaptive system gives you something the California has always lacked: predictable damping that does the same thing every time you ask it. Body movement under hard braking into a corner is calmer, the nose stops diving into the bumpstops on hard trail-braking, and the rear axle stays in better contact through mid-corner ripples. The supplied cancellation kit handles the electronic side – no warning lights, no limp mode, no chasing fault codes after install.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper with the bandwidth to handle weekend track work without rebuilding it on Monday. It runs 36-way bump-and-rebound adjustment on a single knob, with separate ride-height adjustment on the lower mount so you can set corner weights without burning through damper travel. The valving brief is specific: kill the harshness over broken UK B-road surfaces while still controlling a heavy GT chassis when you ask it to change direction at speed.

Construction is built around year-round use – sealed against road salt and standing water – and the damping range is wide enough to suit anything from a soft daily setting to a stiffer circuit configuration. It is the right pick for a California owner who wants their car back, not a stripped-out track special.

Fitment for the Ferrari California (2008-2014)

This kit fits the FE04-1-C California built 2008 to 2014, specifically the variant where both front and rear top mounts use the two-hole pattern. The cancellation kit for the original electronic damping system is included as standard for this part number, so the factory adaptive damper warning is suppressed once installation is complete.
