XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Audi RS3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Modified Rear Integrated) 2013-2020

The 8V RS3 Sedan carries a nose-heavy, transverse five-cylinder turbo engine over its front axle, and quattro’s Haldex-based system only starts sending meaningful torque rearward once load is already building through a corner. On a rutted, cambered tarmac stage that weight transfer happens in a fraction of a second, and standard dampers were never calibrated to control it while the surface is breaking up underneath the car.

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built specifically for that scenario: sealed-stage work on broken, uneven asphalt rather than a smooth circuit. It is the spec to choose if the RS3 is heading onto a rally stage or a rough closed road rather than a track day.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2020 Audi RS3

Fitted to the 8V RS3 Sedan, the damper is tuned to soak up sharp-edged hits – potholes, patched surfaces, cambers thrown up by farm tracks – without the front axle kicking back through the steering. That matters on this chassis because the five-cylinder’s mass sits ahead of the front axle line; a damper that can’t control the resulting pitch will let the nose dive and push wide exactly when the Haldex system needs a settled platform to send drive rearward. The shock body is engineered to resist the repeated, high-frequency battering of stage work rather than folding after a handful of hard hits, and the resulting traction gain shows up most on corner exit, where the RS3’s all-wheel-drive system can only put power down as well as the suspension lets the tyre stay in contact with the road.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing built the Tarmac Rally damper around one job: absorbing the impact of broken, uneven pavement rather than the smooth loads of circuit driving. The internals are tuned to soak up sharp jolts from big bumps without transmitting that shock straight into the body shell, which keeps the chassis settled instead of skipping across a rough surface. That control is what translates into tyre traction on loose or patched tarmac, and it is also what keeps the car predictable mid-corner rather than nervous. The valving isn’t generic – it’s drawn directly from XYZ’s own tarmac rally programme, where settings are proven across repeated stage runs rather than derived on a bench.

Fitment for the Audi RS3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Modified Rr Integrated) (2013-2020)

This kit is built for the Audi RS3 Sedan, 8V chassis, covering model years 2013 to 2020 (chassis code AU63). The "Modified Rr Integrated" designation confirms the 55mm-diameter rear shock is set up for the RS3’s modified rear multi-link mounting, so the rear damper integrates with the factory geometry rather than requiring a separate adapter kit.
