XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi S3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2020

The 8V-generation S3 Sedan carries its turbocharged EA888 engine and the full quattro driveline over the front axle, a weight bias that leaves the standard strut’s damping curve out of its depth the moment you load the front tyres hard into a corner. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for exactly this kind of car – one that already has the grip from quattro but needs the chassis sharpened to use it, whether that’s a Saturday B-road run or a full trackday.

This kit pairs a 36-way adjustable damper with a height-adjustable body, and for the 8V S3 Sedan it’s supplied in cancellation-kit spec, built to work around the factory electronic damping control rather than fight it. It sits at the fast-road-to-weekend-track end of the Super Sport range, not the full motorsport end.

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

Fit this kit and the first change you’ll feel is how the front axle behaves under trail-braking – the extra mass the quattro hardware adds up front stops pushing the nose wide once the damping is under your control rather than a factory algorithm’s. The 36-way adjustment range lets you soften compression for the daily commute, then wind it towards the firm end for a circuit session, without swapping parts. Ride height adjusts independently of damping, so you can drop the S3 Sedan’s stance and lower its centre of gravity without resorting to cut springs. Because the cancellation kit takes the factory electronic damping control out of the loop, there’s no dashboard warning fighting a suspension set-up the ECU was never calibrated for. Rough Tarmac and speed bumps stop translating into the harshness a simple stiffer spring would bring, because Super Sport is set up to control body movement rather than just resist it.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport sits in the middle of the XYZ Racing coilover range, built to take the discomfort out of poor road surfaces without giving up the body control you want when the pace picks up. The damper body is height-adjustable independently of the spring perch, and the piston offers 36 individual clicks of damping adjustment, so the same kit can be wound soft for a motorway trip or firm for a track session. That range is the point – owners running mixed use, commuting through the week and doing the odd weekend circuit day, shouldn’t have to choose between comfort and control. XYZ Racing built Super Sport to work as well on a daily commute as it does at a track day, rather than being tuned for one and merely tolerable for the other. On the S3 Sedan, that 36-way range is what turns a car that’s naturally nose-heavy under quattro into one where you can wind out some of the factory understeer on a circuit, then wind it back off for the drive home.

Fitment for the Audi S3 Sedan 8V (2013-2020)

This kit is built specifically for the Audi S3 Sedan, chassis code AU54-C, across the 2013 to 2020 model years, in the 55mm-strut, modified rear-integrated specification. Because it’s the cancellation-kit variant, the hardware needed to remove the factory electronic damping control from the equation is included as standard, so there’s nothing separate to source for cars fitted with Audi’s factory adaptive damping. Confirm your registration matches the Sedan bodystyle and the 2013-2020 date range before ordering, since Audi revised the S3’s electronic suspension hardware across this production run.
