Ferrari CALIFORNIA (Both front and rear top mount are 4 holes) 2008-2014 — Coilovers

The Ferrari California carried a weight problem its mid-engined siblings never had: a folding metal roof that stacks mass high and behind the rear axle line. On the soft GT springs these cars left the factory with, that hardware exaggerates pitch under the 4.3-litre V8 and lets the body lean lazily through quick direction changes. The XYZ Racing coilover for the Ferrari California (2008-2014) is the answer for owners who want the open-top theatre without the wallow.

It is a fully height-adjustable, damper-adjustable replacement for the factory struts across the whole 2008-2014 run. The kit tightens body control, lowers the centre of gravity, and lets you set a stance that suits a front-engined Ferrari GT rather than the slightly nose-up rake these cars wore as standard.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2014 Ferrari California

You feel it first in the way the nose settles. With the California’s front-mid V8 sitting behind the front axle, turn-in is already keen, and firmer adjustable damping stops the soft secondary movement that blunts it. Roll through a fast sweeper tightens up, so that heavy retractable roof stops dictating how the body moves. Independent height adjustment lets you correct the factory rake and corner-weight the car properly, while the damping range stretches from a compliant grand-touring setting to a firmer rate for a track session. Braking from three figures stays flatter too, which matters in a 1,700kg-plus car that loads its front tyres hard.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

Each kit replaces the factory strut with a threaded-body coilover, putting ride height and damping under your control instead of fixed at one factory compromise. The XYZ Racing range for the California spans nine specifications: the road-biased Super Sport and Street Advanced, the Top Sport and Circuit Master circuit tunes, the Racing Spec and Drift Spec, and dedicated Tarmac Rally, Gravel Rally and Pro Rally builds. That breadth means spring rates and valving are matched to how you actually drive the car rather than sold as a single setting. Set the height to kill the factory rake, set the damping for road or circuit, and corner-balance the car properly once it is back on the ground. For a heavy, softly-sprung GT, that separation of ride height from damping is the part that transforms it.

Fitment for the Ferrari California (2008-2014)

This kit is specified for the FE04-chassis Ferrari California across the full 2008 to 2014 model run. It is the version for cars where both the front and rear top mounts use the four-hole pattern, so confirm your existing top mounts match that layout before ordering. No further trim-specific data is needed beyond that top-mount check.
