XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi A5 F5 SPORTBACK 2WD/4WD φ53 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The A5 F5’s longitudinal quattro layout puts a genuine chunk of the car’s mass ahead of the front axle, and the Sportback body stretches that weight over a longer wheelbase and a lower roofline than the standard coupe. Left on worn factory dampers, that combination shows up as float over motorway undulations and a soft, delayed front end when you load it hard into a roundabout. The Super Sport coilover is built for fast-road driving with the odd weekend track outing rather than full-time competition, which suits an F5 owner who wants the car sharpened up without turning the daily commute into a chore.

Because many A5 F5s left the factory with Audi Drive Select’s electronically controlled dampers, simply bolting on a passive coilover on those cars trips fault codes and leaves the dash unhappy. This is the cancellation-kit version of the Super Sport line, built specifically to bypass that electronic damping control so the car runs cleanly on manual adjustment instead, whether your A5 is a 2WD or 4WD example.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Audi A5 F5 Sportback

Once fitted, ride height becomes fully adjustable, so you can drop the Sportback’s stance to cut aero lift and tighten the visual gap at the arch without touching spring rate. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you separate compression and rebound behaviour front to rear, which matters on a nose-heavy quattro chassis – you can firm the front to resist the dive and push that comes from carrying that extra mass under braking, while keeping the rear compliant enough to put power down out of a corner. On a car that switches between B-road blasts and the school run, that range means the ride doesn’t have to be a compromise pitched halfway between the two; you set it for what you’re doing that day.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing built the Super Sport damper to sort out the discomfort that comes from bumps and rough surfaces without giving up control when you push on. It carries 36-way damping adjustment alongside independent ride height control, so the same kit can be wound softer for a smooth daily commute or firmed up for a weekend on track. Audi Drive Select’s electronic damping control is bypassed by the cancellation kit fitted to this specific SKU, keeping the factory electronics quiet while the coilover takes over ride and handling duties. It’s a road-and-track dual-purpose design rather than a stripped-out race-only unit, aimed at drivers who want one set of dampers that can genuinely do both jobs.

Fitment for the Audi A5 F5 Sportback (2016-2026)

This kit is built for the Audi A5 F5 Sportback across both 2WD and 4WD drivetrains, covering the 2016 to 2026 model years, chassis code AU57-C. It’s specifically the Φ53-strut, cancellation-kit variant for cars fitted with Audi Drive Select electronic damping from the factory – confirm your A5 has adaptive dampers before ordering this version rather than the standard Super Sport kit.
