XYZ Racing Pro Rally Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 CONVERTIBLE (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2009-2016

The B8 A5 Cabriolet carries its longitudinally mounted engine well ahead of the front axle line, and the folding-roof body adds mass and cowl shake the coupe simply never has to manage. That combination – a heavy nose and a softer, open structure – is exactly the kind of platform that punishes a poorly specified damper. The XYZ Racing Pro Rally coilover for the Audi A5 B8 Convertible is built for top-flight rally competition, where stage surface and suspension travel decide the result, not kerb appeal.

This is a competition gravel and snow kit, not a fast-road lowering set. It includes the cancellation kit for the car’s electronic damping, so removing Audi’s factory adaptive struts does not throw a fault or leave a warning lit on the dash.

What this coilover does for your 2009-2016 Audi A5 B8 Convertible

On a loose surface, the front weight bias of the A5 B8 Convertible wants to wash the nose wide under braking and load up unevenly mid-corner. A rally-specified damper controls that body movement and keeps the contact patch settled over ruts, crests and broken camber where the standard adaptive setup runs out of composure. You get usable suspension travel for stage work, more predictable weight transfer into and out of slow gravel hairpins, and the confidence to commit on a surface that gives little feedback through a soft convertible shell. Because the kit cancels the electronic damping rather than fighting it, the car behaves as a coilover-equipped competition machine instead of an Audi confused by missing sensors.

About the Pro Rally coilover

The Pro Rally sits at the competition end of the XYZ Racing range, drawn from their gravel and snow rally suspension programme. Cool Bear supply it in two installation configurations depending on how far the build goes. The first is the amateur specification, designed to bolt straight to the original chassis with no bodywork changes – the route for a privateer or a road-legal stage car. The second is the professional specification, intended to be fitted after the body has been modified to accept it, the way a fully prepared competition car is built. Both are engineered for the abuse of loose-surface stages rather than circuit tarmac, prioritising travel, damper durability and load control. The supplied electronic damping cancellation hardware is part of what makes this a genuine drop-in for the adaptive-equipped B8 platform.

Fitment for the Audi A5 B8 Convertible (2009-2016)

This kit is matched to the B8 A5 Convertible, chassis code AU25-C, covering the 2009 to 2016 model years. It is the variant supplied with the cancellation kit for cars fitted from the factory with electronic adaptive damping, so confirm your car runs that system before ordering.
