XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 SPORTBACK 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2009-2016

The B8 A5’s longitudinal engine sits ahead of the front axle line, and that mass is what every owner of a quattro Sportback ends up fighting: a nose that wants to wash wide on turn-in and a factory ride height that leaves an obvious arch gap. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover is built to answer that without turning the car into a track-only compromise, which is exactly what the "Street Advanced" name promises – a fast-road setup you can still live with on a UK B-road.

This kit is the version specified for cars running Audi’s electronic damping, and it ships with the cancellation kit that suppresses the dash warning the factory adaptive struts would otherwise throw once they are unplugged. You get height adjustment to close the gap and 720 distinct damping settings to tune the rebound and compression to your roads.

What this coilover does for your 2009-2016 Audi A5 B8 Sportback 4WD

Lower the A5 onto a corrected ride height and the centre of gravity drops, which calms the body roll the standard quattro car carries through quicker direction changes. The 720-way damping range lets you run a softer setting for motorway and commuting comfort, then firm things up for a weekend on better surfaces – the same hardware covering both jobs. Tighter damping control also sharpens turn-in response, helping the front axle bite instead of pushing on, and it settles the rear over mid-corner bumps so the AWD system finds traction earlier on the exit. The cancellation kit means none of this comes with a permanent warning light glowing at you.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is the line XYZ Racing positions as its most popular all-round kit, refined over several years by the company’s engineering team and validated in international race use before reaching production spec. It is built specifically for normal road use and the occasional track day rather than dedicated circuit work, which is reflected in its 720-step damping adjustment – a wide enough window to span genuine daily comfort and a tied-down sporting setup from a single set of struts. Ride height is independently adjustable so you can dial the stance and corner balance to suit the car. For this A5 application the kit includes the electronic damping cancellation module, so owners of cars fitted with adaptive dampers can fit it without the system flagging a fault. It is aimed at drivers who want sharper control of how their car rides and handles without giving up everyday usability.
