XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Maserati GHIBLI M157 4WD (excl. EDC) 2013-2026

The Ghibli M157 in Q4 trim is a heavy, front-biased GT with a twin-turbo V6 sitting ahead of the front axle and a permanent 4WD system that shuffles torque rearward only when the fronts give up. On the factory passive setup (this kit deliberately excludes the EDC-equipped cars), the chassis rolls more than the Modena badge on the steering wheel suggests it should, and the ride height sits too tall for a car that otherwise reads as a four-door GranTurismo.

The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is the track-leaning option in the XYZ range, and on a 2013-2026 Ghibli M157 4WD it does two things at once – drops the body onto its wheels properly, and gives the chassis the damping authority to use the Q4 system’s rear-bias torque shuffling without the nose washing wide first.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2026 Maserati Ghibli M157 4WD

Drop the Ghibli onto Top Sport coilovers and the first thing you feel is the front axle settling. The nose stops floating over mid-corner crests, turn-in sharpens because the front tyres are now loading predictably rather than rolling onto their shoulders, and the rear stays planted long enough for the Q4 system to do its job under power. Ride height is fully adjustable, so the stance can be set without resorting to lowering springs that murder the damper geometry. The 30-way damping adjustment is the headline – one click softer for a motorway run to Goodwood, three clicks firmer for the circuit session once you arrive. Spring rates are matched to the Ghibli’s kerb weight rather than a generic catalogue figure, which is the difference between a coilover that works and one that just lowers a car.

About the Top Sport coilover

Top Sport sits at the circuit-focused end of the XYZ Racing line-up, built around a monotube damper with a separate aluminium body to keep oil temperatures stable across repeat hard laps. Damping is adjustable across 30 detented positions on a single knob, with bump and rebound moving together on a curve XYZ has tuned for track use without making the kit unusable on UK B-roads. Pillow-ball upper mounts replace the rubber OE bushings on the front, sharpening steering response and removing the deflection that softens turn-in on a heavy GT. Spring rates are specified per chassis – on a Ghibli M157 that means rates chosen for a near-1900kg saloon, not a hatchback. Ride height adjusts independently of spring preload via the lower mount, so corner weights can be set properly rather than left to whatever the spring perch happens to give you.

Fitment for the Maserati GHIBLI M157 4WD (2013-2026)

This kit is specified for the Ghibli M157 chassis in 4WD (Q4) trim, model years 2013 through 2026. It is explicitly NOT for cars fitted from the factory with the EDC electronic damping system – those cars need a different solution to avoid dashboard fault codes. Chassis code MS05 in the XYZ application list.
