XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 COUPE (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2016

The B8 A5 coupe arrived with Audi’s Electronic Damping Control as an option across the range – a system that reads road conditions and adjusts valve rates in real time, and one that throws persistent fault codes the moment an incompatible component is fitted. This XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit is built around that reality: the fitment includes a dedicated cancellation unit that eliminates the EDC warning light entirely, leaving the instrument cluster clean and the car’s ancillary electronics unaffected.

What remains is a suspension setup recalibrated for the B8 platform’s actual characteristics – that long-nosed, front-weighted A5 architecture with its natural tendency to push on a committed entry when spring rates are mismatched. The Super Sport sits at the crossover point in the XYZ Racing range: specified for fast-road use with weekend track sessions in mind, without demanding a compromise between the two.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2016 Audi A5 B8 Coupe

The B8’s nose-heavy balance makes it sensitive to front-end spring selection. Too stiff and the understeer that quattro owners are already managing becomes sharper on turn-in; too soft and the car pitches under braking on a circuit. Ride height adjustment lets you correct the stock rake and sharpen the handling balance before a track day, then return to road settings without touching the dampers. The 36-way damping range covers everything from a firmer but still road-absorbent setting to a stiffer rate for smooth circuit use, with enough spread between the extremes to work on both the rough A-roads the coupe was built to cover and the trackday venues owners take it to at weekends.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing’s Super Sport is a 36-position adjustable damper with full ride height adjustment per corner. That damping range means the system can be softened to absorb the kind of surface irregularities that would otherwise resonate through the A5 coupe’s rigid bodyshell, or firmed toward a rate suited to circuit use – without swapping springs. The construction is explicitly dual-purpose: the specification covers weekend race use as well as daily road mileage, which is the exact brief the B8 A5 driver typically sets when moving off factory dampers. Adjustment is made via a single control per corner, and the ride height is set independently of the damping position, so both variables can be dialled without interaction.

Fitment for the Audi A5 B8 Coupe (2007-2016)

This kit is built for the Audi A5 B8 Coupe, chassis code AU23-C, covering the full production run from 2007 to 2016. The fitment includes the cancellation kit for the Electronic Damping Control system – essential for B8 variants equipped with EDC, where removing the factory adaptive dampers without the cancellation unit triggers a persistent warning. Confirm your car’s original damper specification before ordering: this is the correct listing specifically for EDC-equipped cars.
