XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 CONVERTIBLE 4WD 2009-2016

The B8 A5 Cabriolet carries meaningfully more structural weight than the coupe and saloon it shares a platform with, the extra bracing needed to compensate for a missing roof landing exactly where the quattro layout is already nose-heavy. That extra mass moves under transition, and it shows up first at the front axle when you trail-brake into a corner or load the car hard through a direction change. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit is built around that reality: a fast-road and weekend track-day spec that lets you firm the chassis up without turning the Cabriolet into something you dread driving to the circuit.

This is a coilover for owners who want the convertible planted through a B-road sequence on Saturday and holding a line at a track day on Sunday, without swapping parts in between. Ride height and damping are both in your hands, so the car can be set up for whichever road it’s actually on that day.

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

Fit the Super Sport kit to a 2009-2016 A5 Cabriolet and the first thing you’ll notice is better body control over the load the quattro system throws forward mid-corner. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you stiffen compression enough to check the nose-dive under hard braking that the extra Cabriolet weight makes more noticeable than on the coupe, while leaving enough give in the rebound circuit to keep the tyres working on broken surfaces. Ride height adjusts independently of the damping, so you can drop the stance for a track day and bring it back up for the drive home without buying a second set of springs. Turn-in sharpens, roll through fast direction changes settles quicker, and the extra structural weight this chassis carries stops feeling like something you’re fighting.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport sits in XYZ Racing’s range as the fast-road-to-track option, built to take the harshness out of a spring rate stiff enough for track use rather than leaving it as raw discomfort over broken tarmac. Damping runs across 36 distinct settings, wide enough to move from a compliant daily setting to something firm enough for a track session without swapping hardware. Ride height adjusts independently at each corner, so the Cabriolet’s stance and corner weights can be set to match the wheel and tyre package actually fitted. XYZ Racing pitches this kit specifically at owners who use the same car for both jobs – commuting through the week, a track day or a fast B-road run at the weekend – rather than running two separate setups. The wide damping range and height adjustment are what make that dual role realistic rather than a compromise you feel every time you get in the car.
