XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Audi A3 8V Φ50 (Rear Twist- beam Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2012-2020

Sealed tarmac stages don’t smooth out for anyone – cambers, crested compressions and patched surfaces arrive at full attack speed on the same line the rally result gets decided. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built around that reality, and on the Audi A3 8V it’s tuned specifically for the Φ50 twist-beam rear rather than the multi-link setup fitted to quattro cars, giving the rear axle a simpler, stiffer response to load transfer through fast direction changes.

This particular kit also ships as a cancellation kit for electronic damping, replacing the factory adaptive dampers and their control module with a fixed setup that won’t throw fault codes once the OEM electronics are gone. It’s aimed at A3 8V owners running closed tarmac stages, not track-day lapping.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2020 Audi A3 8V Φ50 (Rr Twist-beam Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping)

Fitted to the A3 8V’s twist-beam rear, this coilover keeps the rear axle settled over the ridges and patch repairs that sealed tarmac stages throw up, rather than letting the beam kick sideways under load. Ride height is adjustable independently of spring preload, so you can set stage-ready geometry once and leave it – useful on an A3 8V that’s spending its life between road registration and rally scrutineering. Because the electronic damping cancellation module replaces the factory DCC control unit outright, there’s no adaptive-damper fault light to chase mid-stage and no software fighting the fixed valving you’ve chosen. The result on this chassis is a rear end that reacts predictably to trail-braking into tighter tarmac junctions, and a front end that holds its line through the mid-corner compressions that catch out A3s still running factory-soft springing.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built specifically around sealed-stage tarmac use, where the road surface is rarely as flat as a circuit and the car needs to absorb sudden impacts without upsetting its line. The damper is set up to soak up the jolt from bigger compressions and broken sections of tarmac, controlling body shock so the chassis doesn’t skip or unsettle mid-corner. That control is what keeps the tyre loaded and gripping through a stage instead of hopping over surface changes, which is where lap-to-lap consistency actually comes from on rough tarmac. The valving and spring rates aren’t generic road-coilover settings carried over from a fast-road kit – they come directly from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme, translated into a fixed damper spec for cars that need to go from road-legal to stage-ready without a rebuild.

Fitment for the Audi A3 8V Φ50 (Rr Twist-beam Suspension) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) (2012-2020)

This kit is built for the Audi A3 8V (chassis code AU12-4-3-C) built between 2012 and 2020, specifically the Φ50-strut, twist-beam rear layout rather than the multi-link rear used on quattro variants. It’s the cancellation-kit version, so it’s intended for cars that left the factory with electronic (adaptive) damping control – confirm your A3 8V has factory electronic dampers before ordering this variant rather than the standard kit.
