XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi A3 SPORTBACK 8V φ55 (Rear Multi-Link Suspension) Modified Rear Integrated (CancellationKit for Electronic Damping) 2012-2020

The 8V Sportback carries its weight low but firmly over the front axle, and on the multi-link rear cars the standard dampers struggle to keep both ends working together once the road gets broken. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for exactly that fast-road brief: a kit you can run to the shops on Friday and onto a track day Saturday without swapping anything.

This version is spec’d for the Φ55 rear multi-link cars with the electronic damping cancellation kit fitted, so the standard adaptive suspension electronics are properly bypassed rather than left fighting a fixed-rate damper. That matters on a car whose factory ride quality leans on that electronic control – remove it without a cancellation kit and you’re left with warning lights and a compromised setup.

What this coilover does for your 2012-2020 Audi A3 Sportback

Ride height adjustment lets you correct the A3’s factory rake and drop the centre of gravity without resorting to cut springs, and the 36-way damping adjustment means you can run the front end firm enough to control body roll through direction changes while keeping the rear compliant over motorway expansion joints. On a Sportback that’s carrying passengers and a boot-load as often as it’s carrying one driver on a B-road, that range matters more than a single fixed rate ever could. Wind the damping up for a track day and the multi-link rear stays planted under trail braking instead of stepping out; wind it back down and the ride returns to something you’d tolerate on a daily commute. Because the cancellation kit is integrated, the electronic damping system is properly disabled rather than just disconnected, so there’s no dash warning and no electronics fighting the new dampers.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road damper, built to take the discomfort out of rough tarmac while still giving the driver a way to firm the car up when it matters. The headline figure is 36 levels of damping adjustment, giving a genuinely usable spread between motorway-comfort and B-road-attack settings rather than a token few clicks either side of "standard." Ride height is independently adjustable at the coilover, so you can set stance and geometry to suit the specific A3 chassis without touching spring rate. XYZ position this as a dual-purpose damper – engineered to work equally well as a daily-driven road car setup and as a weekend track or fast-road tool, which is why it’s specified rather than the firmer Circuit Master line for cars that still need to cover normal miles. On the 8V platform, that adjustability is what lets one damper setting handle the daily commute and a different one handle a spirited drive without swapping parts.

Fitment for the Audi A3 Sportback (2012-2020)

This kit is built for the Audi A3 Sportback 8V with the Φ55 rear multi-link suspension arrangement and the modified rear-integrated electronic damping cancellation kit, covering the 2012 to 2020 model years. Confirm your A3 Sportback uses this multi-link rear layout and the electronic damping cancellation hardware before ordering, since the standard front-axle-only kit is a different specification.
