XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi S4 B8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2008-2016

The B8 S4’s supercharged 3.0 TFSI sits ahead of the front axle line, and that nose-led weight bias is the first thing any owner notices once they push the car beyond a B-road pace. The factory adaptive dampers smooth the worst of it, but they also flatten the feedback that makes a quattro saloon engaging – and when they fail out of warranty, the replacement bill is brutal. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover answers both problems at once.

This is a fast-road-and-track setup built specifically to retire the B8’s electronic damping system. The supplied cancellation harness fools the chassis module so no dashboard warnings appear, and you swap a depreciating black box for a serviceable, height-adjustable, 36-way damped unit that will outlast the car around it.

What this coilover does for your 2008-2016 Audi S4

Lowering the S4 B8 onto a properly valved coilover does two things the standard car cannot. First, it tightens the front-end response so the quattro driveline actually rotates the car on corner entry instead of pushing wide on throttle. Second, it gives the rear axle enough control to settle under hard braking, which is where stock B8 S4s tend to go light and skittish. The 36-way damping range means you can run a softer click for the school run and the M-way, then firm it up for a Cadwell or Donington trackday without touching the spring perches. Ride height is independent of damping, so once you have your stance you can keep tuning the damper rebound without re-corner-weighting the car.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper with track capability built in. The damper body is engineered to eliminate the harshness that cheaper coilover kits transmit straight into the cabin over UK road surfaces – broken tarmac, expansion joints, drain covers. Ride height is adjustable at the lower mount so spring preload stays correct, and the single damping knob controls 36 distinct positions of combined bump and rebound. The result is a single-platform suspension that genuinely covers weekend race use and daily commuting on the same hardware, which is why XYZ position the Super Sport as the do-everything coilover in their range rather than a stripped-out circuit-only product.

Fitment for the Audi S4 (2008-2016)

This kit fits the B8 generation S4 quattro saloon and Avant (chassis code AU22-1-C) from 2008 through 2016, and includes the cancellation hardware required for cars originally fitted with Audi Drive Select electronic dampers. Confirm your build sheet shows the adaptive damping option before ordering – non-electronic B8 S4s use a different part number.
