XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Audi A3 SPORTBACK 8V Φ55 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for ElectronicDamping) 2012-2020

Top-flight rally stages punish a chassis in ways a circuit never will – compression events over broken gravel, snow-packed ruts, and landings that load the rear multi-link axle far harder than any tarmac apex. The XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover for the Audi A3 Sportback 8V is built around that reality, not around lap times.

This kit is specced for cars running the multi-link rear suspension and the Φ55-diameter damper body, and it ships with a cancellation kit for the factory electronic damping system – because a car that started life with adaptive dampers needs that circuitry taken out of the loop before a passive rally coilover can do its job properly.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2020 Audi A3 Sportback

Swap the OEM electronically-damped strut for this kit and the A3 Sportback stops trying to second-guess the surface under it. The multi-link rear axle – already the more sophisticated of the two A3 rear-suspension layouts – gets a damper built to survive repeated hard landings rather than one tuned for a smooth commute. The Φ55 body gives the shock more internal volume to shed heat over a multi-stage rally run, where a narrower-bore unit would fade sooner. Ride height and corner weighting adjust independently, so the same A3 Sportback can be set up for gravel one weekend and tarmac the next without swapping hardware.

About the Pro Rally coilover

XYZ Racing splits its rally-suspension range into two distinct approaches. One is the amateur-spec kit, designed to bolt straight into the original chassis mounts with no bodywork changes – the option most privateers run. The other, and the one this Pro Rally kit belongs to, is the professional-spec build: intended for a car whose body has already been modified to accept it, with reinforced turrets and mounting points a standard road-going A3 doesn’t have. That distinction changes what the damper and spring can be asked to do. Where the amateur kit works within the limits of a stock chassis, this professional-spec unit is built to exploit a strengthened one, with damping and spring rates set for sustained, competition-level use across a full rally rather than a single stage.

Fitment for the Audi A3 Sportback (2012-2020)

This kit is built for the Audi A3 Sportback 8V, chassis code AU12-2-C, covering the 2012 to 2020 production run fitted with the multi-link rear suspension. It’s specified around the Φ55 damper body and includes the cancellation kit needed on cars that left the factory with electronic damping control.
