XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Audi S3 SPORTBACK 8V φ55 (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2020

Top-flight rally competition in an 8V S3 Sportback starts with a decision the factory never offers: taking its electronic damping control out of the equation altogether. The quattro-driven 8V carries Audi’s adaptive DCC as standard, a system built around smooth-road compromise, not gravel-crossing compression spikes or ice-stage weight transfer. This cancellation-kit build removes that electronic layer and hands damping control back to the driver, mechanically, stage after stage.

The XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover is the response, built for the professional-installation route rather than a straight bolt-in. On an 8V running quattro through fast, loose surfaces, that distinction matters: a rear end that’s been structurally integrated into the kit copes with the compression and rebound extremes of a rally stage in a way a stock-mounted setup can’t sustain lap after stage.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2020 Audi S3 Sportback

With the DCC electronics cancelled, damping response on the S3 becomes entirely mechanical and entirely yours to set, stage by stage, surface by surface. Loose gravel wants a softer, more absorptive setting to keep the quattro system finding grip through compressions; hard-pack or tarmac stages want the platform tightened up for direct turn-in. The integrated rear mounting is built to take the repeated, high-amplitude inputs of stage driving without the compliance loss that catches out road-biased dampers, so the quattro drivetrain keeps putting power down instead of managing an unsettled rear axle. Ride height is adjustable independently front and rear, letting you set stance and geometry for the specific event rather than a one-size compromise. The net result on an 8V is a chassis that stays composed under the kind of abuse a Sportback was never designed to absorb from the factory.

About the Pro Rally coilover

XYZ Racing splits its rally-specification gravel and snow suspension into two distinct build types. The first is an amateur-grade unit, designed to install directly onto the original chassis mounting points with no structural work. The second, and the type supplied here, is the professional-grade unit: installed only after the car’s body has been modified to accept it, with the rear end integrated into the vehicle structure rather than bolted to stock hardware. That professional-type construction is what allows the kit to survive competition loads that would fatigue a standard mount, and it’s why this particular S3 Sportback fitment is paired with the electronic-damping cancellation kit rather than left running alongside the factory DCC controller. The build is aimed squarely at drivers running full rally programmes, not fast-road use dressed up in rally branding.

Fitment for the Audi S3 Sportback 8V Φ55 (Modified Rr Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2013-2020)

This kit is specified for the Audi S3 Sportback 8V, chassis code AU52-C, across the 2013 to 2020 production span. It is built for the modified rear-integrated installation route and pairs with the cancellation kit for the car’s electronic damping system rather than a stock-chassis bolt-in.
