XYZ Racing Top Sport Coilovers — Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2026

The GranTurismo’s Skyhook electronic damping was clever for 2007, but two decades on it’s the single biggest reason these cars are landing in independent workshops with five-figure repair quotes. The XYZ Racing Top Sport coilover for the Maserati GranTurismo solves that problem at the root – it deletes the factory adaptive system entirely and replaces it with a properly engineered manual coilover built around the car’s 4.2 and 4.7 V8 weight distribution.

This is the Top Sport spec, XYZ’s circuit-leaning damper tune, paired with the MS02-C cancellation harness so the dash doesn’t throw a Skyhook fault the moment you turn the key. For a 1,880kg front-engined GT that owners increasingly want to drive harder than Modena ever intended, it’s the upgrade that finally lets the chassis talk back.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2026 Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

The factory Skyhook setup was tuned for ride compliance first, body control second, and the years have not been kind to either characteristic. Swapping to the Top Sport gives you a monotube damper with 30-way bump and rebound adjustment, so the GranTurismo’s natural front-end float on turn-in can be dialled out without making the rear axle skittish over mid-corner bumps. Ride height is independently adjustable via the lower bracket, which means you can drop the nose to close the visible arch gap without pre-loading the spring or shortening damper stroke – a critical detail on a car this heavy. The cancellation harness keeps the instrument cluster clean and prevents the ECU from logging suspension faults at MOT time. On a fast B-road the car suddenly feels its 4.7 litres rather than its kerb weight; on track, the front end actually loads under trail-braking instead of washing wide.

About the Top Sport coilover

The Top Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the spec aimed at owners who use their car on circuit but still drive it on the road the rest of the week. Construction is a 52mm monotube body with a hardened piston rod, pillowball top mounts where the chassis allows them, and powder-coated lower brackets to handle UK winters. Damping is adjusted by a single 30-click dial that moves bump and rebound together on a fixed curve – simpler to set up than separate high/low-speed adjusters, and better suited to a heavy GT where chasing four independent variables usually ends in a worse setup than where you started. Spring rates are matched to the GranTurismo’s nose-heavy 49/51 distribution rather than carried over from a generic platform kit. The MS02-C designation refers to the specific Maserati harness sub-assembly that intercepts the Skyhook signal and returns a steady-state value to the ECU.

Fitment for the Maserati GRAN TURISMO (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2007-2026)

This kit fits chassis code MS02-C across the full 2007-2026 GranTurismo production run, including the 4.2, 4.7 S, MC Stradale and the later Nettuno-engined cars. The cancellation harness is included in the box and is specific to the Maserati Skyhook wiring – it is not a generic resistor pack. Always cross-check your VIN against XYZ’s fitment table before ordering.
