XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 SPORTBACK (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2009-2016

The B8 A5 carries its mass ahead of the front axle, a longitudinal layout that loads the nose and washes turn-in wide long before the rear gets a say. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Audi A5 B8 Sportback attacks that directly: it drops the soft factory ride height and the float that comes with it, then hands you 720 ways of damping adjustment to set the car for how you actually drive.

This is the specific variant for cars optioned with Audi’s electronic damping, and the included cancellation kit is the part that earns its place. It feeds the suspension control module the signal it expects, so fitting a passive coilover does not throw a dash warning or push the car into a default fault mode. You get manual height and damping control without fighting the original adaptive system.

What these coilovers do for your 2009-2016 Audi A5 B8 Sportback

Lower the Sportback onto these and the first thing you feel is body control: less dive into roundabouts, a flatter platform through long motorway sweepers, and steering that loads up rather than going light over crests. The 720-way damping range is the useful part day to day – wind it soft for a commute on poor surfaces, then firm it up for a B-road or a track day without touching the ride height. Drop the nose to close the arch gap and the stance sharpens, while the front end finally bites instead of leaning on its outside tyre. It is a genuine handling change on a chassis that left the factory tuned for comfort.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular series, refined over years by their engineering team and shaken down in races worldwide before reaching production. It is built for the dual life most owners actually lead: a civilised set-up for normal road use, with enough adjustment in reserve for the occasional track day. The headline figure is 720 damping adjustment positions, letting you balance comfort against control rather than accept a single fixed compromise. XYZ pitch it as core kit for drivers who want real pace and the control to use it, and on a heavy quattro coupe-derived bodyshell that combination matters more than outright stiffness.
