XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Audi A5 B8 COUPE 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2016

The B8 A5 carries its mass well forward of the front axle. With the longitudinal engine sitting ahead of the wheel centres and the quattro driveline loading the nose further, this is a car that leans on its front tyres and washes wide when you push the entry. The XYZ Racing Street Advanced coilover for the Audi A5 B8 Coupe 4WD is built to take that weight in hand – tightening body control over the nose without turning a refined coupe into something you dread on a broken B-road.

This is the variant specified for cars that left the factory with Audi’s electronic damping. It ships with a cancellation kit that clears the dashboard fault once the adaptive struts come out, so you keep a clean dash while moving to a height- and damping-adjustable setup. With 720 damping settings to work through, the same car covers a comfortable commute and a firmer Sunday-morning configuration.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2016 Audi A5

Lower the A5 onto its own springs and the first thing you feel is the reduction in nose dive under braking, which sharpens turn-in on a platform that normally hesitates there. The 720-way damping range lets you run a softer setting for daily refinement, then close it down for tauter control when you want the front end to bite. Ride height adjustment drops the centre of gravity and removes the factory arch gap, so the stance improves alongside the handling. On a 4WD A5 that traditionally understeers, the firmer body control helps the rear stay involved through a corner rather than the front simply ploughing on.

About the Street Advanced coilover

The Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s most popular kit, developed over several seasons by the company’s own engineering team and validated in competition around the world. It is built specifically for road use and the occasional track day, rather than full circuit duty, which makes it a sensible fit for a road-biased coupe like the A5. The headline feature is 720 ways of damping adjustment from a single setting, giving a wide spread between supple street manners and a stiffer, more controlled response. Construction is matched to that brief: a durable, height-adjustable coilover designed to last on UK roads while still rewarding a driver who wants more from the chassis. For the electronic-damping cars, the included cancellation kit means none of that capability comes at the cost of a permanently lit dash warning.

Fitment for the Audi A5 (2007-2016)

This kit is specified for the Audi A5 B8 Coupe with quattro 4WD, chassis code AU24-C, across the 2007 to 2016 model years. It is the electronic-damping variant, supplied with the cancellation kit for cars originally fitted with Audi’s adaptive damping system. Confirm your car runs the factory electronic dampers before ordering this version.
