XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Audi RS3 SEDAN 8V φ55 2013-2020

The Audi RS3 Sedan 8V carries its 2.5-litre five-cylinder turbo ahead of the front axle, and quattro all-wheel drive means power gets put down through all four corners even when a stage surface breaks up mid-corner. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built around that brief: absorbing the hit from broken pavement and mid-corner compressions without unsettling the nose.

This is the spec for sealed-stage tarmac rally work in the RS3 SEDAN 8V φ55, where consecutive rough sections and camber changes punish a chassis that’s already carrying weight over the front wheels. It replaces the factory dampers with a setup calibrated specifically for that repeated-impact environment rather than one-off circuit lapping.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2020 Audi RS3 Sedan

Fitted to the 8V φ55 chassis, the coilover’s damping keeps the RS3’s five-cylinder-forward weight from pitching hard into compressions when a stage surface drops away underneath it. Controlling that body shock keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded instead of skipping across broken tarmac, which matters directly for a quattro car trying to put five-cylinder torque down out of a hairpin. The result is a chassis that stays settled through repeated jolts rather than one that’s fighting body movement on every impact, so the quattro system has a stable platform to work from across a full stage rather than just the first few corners.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally line specifically around sealed-stage work rather than circuit or fast-road use. The valving is calibrated to soak up the impact of uneven, patched, or broken pavement without transmitting that hit straight into the body shell, and to absorb the jolt of a big compression without the chassis kicking back through the seat. That control is what keeps the tyre loaded and gripping instead of skating across a rough section, which is the difference between a car that stays stable through a stage and one that’s constantly correcting itself. The damping curves in this kit come directly from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme, not a generic road-and-track compromise adapted after the fact.
