XYZ Racing Drag Racing Coilovers — Maserati GHIBLI M157 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2026

The Ghibli M157 carries its mass high and long – a near-1.8-tonne twin-turbo saloon riding on factory Skyhook adaptive dampers tuned for motorway refinement, not a standing-start launch. The XYZ Racing Drag Racing coilover strips that electronic compromise out and replaces it with a fixed, launch-focused platform, and the supplied cancellation kit feeds the car’s ECU the damper signal it expects so the dash stays dark once the OEM electronic damping is gone.

For the quarter mile this matters more than peak power. Off the line, a soft adaptive setup wastes the first few feet squatting and shuffling weight unpredictably; this kit loads the driven tyres and gets the Ghibli hooked up so its 400bhp-plus can actually reach the tarmac.

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

Drop the Ghibli onto adjustable spring perches and you can set ride height and corner balance to suit the strip – rear planted, weight biased toward the driven axle the instant the gearbox grabs first. The result is less wheelspin off the line, a faster hook-up, and a car that tracks straight under hard acceleration rather than wandering as the soft OEM dampers unload. Because the cancellation kit removes the factory Skyhook electronics cleanly, there is no suspension warning light and no limp-home behaviour to manage between runs. With the OEM electronic damping out of the loop, the platform stops second-guessing you mid-launch and does exactly what you set it to.

About the Drag Racing coilover

XYZ Racing builds the Drag Racing coilover specifically for 0-400 metre standing-start work, and the engineering brief is narrow on purpose. Where a fast-road or circuit kit chases balance through corners, this one is set up to manage longitudinal weight transfer at the moment of launch, on FWD, RWD or 4WD cars alike. The tune lets the chassis shift load onto whichever axle drives the car – the rear on a standard Ghibli, all four corners on a Q4 – so the driven tyres see greater compression and bite harder against the surface. That extra compression is what cuts the idle time of a spinning wheel, the fraction of a second where the revs climb but the car barely moves. XYZ also targets high-speed stability with this setup, keeping the Ghibli settled as it pulls through the traps instead of going light at the top end. It is a single-purpose tool, and the cancellation kit is what makes fitting it to an electronically-damped M157 straightforward.

Fitment for the Maserati Ghibli M157 (2013-2026)

This kit is cut for the M157 Ghibli across the full 2013-2026 production run, covering both the rear-drive and Q4 all-wheel-drive cars. It is the variant for vehicles fitted with factory electronic (Skyhook) damping – the included cancellation kit emulates the OEM damper signal so the suspension warning light stays off. Confirm your car left the factory with adaptive dampers before choosing this version.
