XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Maserati GHIBLI M157 2013-2026

The M157 Ghibli carries the better part of two tonnes on a long wheelbase, and the factory adaptive setup was tuned to flatter rather than communicate. That is the gap the XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover is built to close on this car. Swap the OE struts for a properly damped monotube and the Ghibli’s chassis stops feeling reluctant in transitions and starts behaving like the rear-drive saloon Modena clearly intended.

Top Sport sits in the range as the circuit-leaning option for owners who use their Ghibli on track days as well as the road. For a 3.0 V6 twin-turbo saloon that puts its torque down through the rear axle, the priority is body-control under braking into a fast corner and a stable platform when the boost arrives mid-bend.

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

Fit these and the Ghibli M157 stops floating on its springs and starts loading its outside front tyre cleanly. The 30-step damping adjuster lets you run the car softer on a Friday commute and firmer for a Saturday at Bedford or Donington without changing components. Ride-height adjustment is independent of preload, which matters on a long, heavy car where you want to drop the visual stance without coil-binding the spring or pre-loading the damper into a harsh secondary ride. Front camber plates on the strut-type front axle let you claw back negative camber that the Ghibli’s geometry gives up under load, sharpening turn-in response noticeably. Brake feel improves almost as a side effect, because the nose stops diving into ABS as readily.

About the Top Sport coilover

Top Sport is XYZ Racing’s circuit-biased monotube damper built around a single-tube pressurised gas design with a separated piston for oil and nitrogen. That construction is the technical reason the damper resists fade across consecutive sessions where a twin-tube would heat-soak. Pillow-ball upper mounts replace the rubber OE top hats on the front axle, removing the deflection that softens steering inputs on the standard Ghibli. Spring rates are matched to the M157’s kerb weight rather than borrowed from a lighter platform, which is the usual failure mode of generic coilover kits on big saloons. The 30-click adjuster covers a usable range from compliant fast-road through to circuit, and the click detents are firm enough to repeat a known setting after a session.
