XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Audi A4 B8 SEDAN 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2008-2016

The B8 A4 quattro’s nose-heavy MLB platform and standard-fit Continuous Damping Control make it an unusual candidate for tarmac rally preparation – but once the electronic damping is bypassed and the right suspension is fitted, the quattro drivetrain becomes an asset rather than a liability. These XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally coilovers are built for sealed-stage use, with every setting drawn from direct tarmac rally competition rather than extrapolated from a road or circuit programme.

The 2008 to 2016 model year span covers both the original B8 and the B8.5 facelift, and this kit includes the dedicated cancellation unit that defeats the factory CDC fault loop – so the instrument cluster stays quiet and the dampers run without OE interference.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2016 Audi A4 B8 SEDAN 4WD

The Tarmac Rally coilover keeps the quattro’s four contact patches loaded over crests, compressions, and the surface variation that strips traction from the inside wheels mid-corner. Where the B8’s standard CDC hardware prioritises road refinement, these units are calibrated to suppress chassis pitch and roll at the higher loading rates that tarmac stages demand – the conditions where body movement costs traction and tyres need to stay planted. The front axle, carrying the weight of the quattro drivetrain, stays composed over rough surface sections rather than deflecting and losing its line.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally specification is a dedicated sealed-surface damper, and every setting reflects the brand’s competition experience on tarmac rather than a road tune adapted after the fact. The construction is built to absorb the repeated impact of uneven pavement and large compressions without the shock body oscillating – keeping the tyre in contact with the road where it generates grip, rather than momentarily unloading over a crest. Vehicle stability on fast, undulating tarmac is the primary design target, and the tune is calibrated to deal with the kind of sustained surface abuse a sealed stage puts into a suspension over the course of a run.

Fitment for the Audi A4 B8 SEDAN 4WD (2008-2016)

This kit carries chassis code AU22-C and covers the four-wheel-drive Audi A4 B8 Sedan across its full production run, 2008 through 2016, including the B8.5 facelift. The cancellation kit bundled with this SKU disables the factory Continuous Damping Control system, which must be bypassed to run aftermarket damper units without continuous fault codes triggered by the absent OE damper demand signal.
