XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi S5 B8 4WD 2007-2016

The B8 S5’s supercharged V6 sits ahead of the front axle, and quattro’s extra driveline hardware adds even more weight over the nose than the front-drive A4 it shares a platform with. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit for the Audi S5 B8 4WD (2007-2016) is built to manage that mass through corners and under trail-braking, rather than leave the standard suspension’s fixed compromise to do it for you.

With 36-way damping adjustment and ride height that sets independently front and rear, the kit lets you run a fast-road setup for the commute one weekend and firm it up for a trackday the next, without swapping parts. It suits S5 owners who want the nose to load predictably under braking and the rear to stay settled when quattro puts power down out of a bend.

What this coilover kit does for your 2007-2016 Audi S5 B8 4WD

Drop the ride height and firm up the front end, and the S5’s nose stops diving as hard under heavy braking – which matters on a car where the engine sits out ahead of the axle line. The 36-way damping range gives enough spread to soften low-speed compression for a rough B-road, then wind in control at the firmer end for a trackday without the front wallowing into corners. Because ride height and damping adjust independently, you can lower the S5’s centre of gravity for sharper turn-in without forcing the dampers into a harsh, bump-steer-prone setup, which a fixed-drop spring would push you towards on a quattro chassis. The result is a car that turns in with less of the understeer the B8 platform is known for, and holds its line through mid-corner load transfer as the quattro system shifts torque rearward.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport damper is XYZ Racing’s answer to a suspension that has to cope with real UK roads and still work on a circuit. Ride height adjusts independently of damping, so lowering the car doesn’t automatically stiffen or soften the ride – the two are set separately, letting you tune stance and control on their own terms. Damping runs across 36 distinct positions, giving a genuinely usable spread between a setting soft enough to absorb broken tarmac and one firm enough to control body movement at speed. That range is the point: rather than a single compromise valve, the Super Sport is built to be reset as conditions change, from a daily commute to a weekend on track. It’s positioned as a dual-purpose damper rather than a dedicated race-only part, which suits an S5 that most owners still drive on the road between track outings.
