XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi RS5 B8 4WD 2010-2015

The B8 RS5’s 4.2-litre V8 sits ahead of the front axle, and that mass wants to run wide the instant you load the outside front tyre through a fast right-hander. Quattro grip disguises the problem right up until it doesn’t – usually at exactly the point a track-day driver is trying to carry speed through the apex. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover kit is built to give the RS5 B8 a front end that answers the wheel rather than the throttle, without turning the car into something you wouldn’t want to drive to the circuit.

This is a fast-road and weekend track spec, not a full race setup, so the emphasis is on a chassis that stays composed on a Saturday-morning blast and still holds its line when the same car is on Michelins at a track day in the afternoon.

What this coilover does for your 2010-2015 Audi RS5 B8 4WD

Drop the RS5 onto adjustable ride height and you immediately claw back the roll centre and centre of gravity that Audi’s factory setup sacrificed for ride comfort and rear passenger room. Lower the car within the kit’s range and body roll drops, which matters on a quattro coupe that already carries its weight low and forward – less roll means the front tyres load more evenly through a corner instead of dumping load onto the outside shoulder. The 36-way damping adjustment lets you separate compression and rebound behaviour for a car that’s driven on UK B-roads one day and a track surface the next, softening off for broken tarmac or firming up when you want the nose to respond the moment you turn in. Where the standard RS5 damper control feels like a compromise between comfort and control, this gives you the range to pick one or the other, or split the difference, without swapping parts.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport kit is built around a damper tuned to take the harshness out of poor road surfaces and expansion joints rather than transmitting every impact straight into the cabin, while still giving the RS5 a firmer, more controlled base than the factory setup. Ride height is adjustable independently of the damping, so you can set the car’s stance without touching the 36 positions of compression and rebound control on offer. That 36-way range is the point of the kit: it’s wide enough to run a genuinely soft, comfortable setting for the daily commute and firm enough at the other end for a weekend session on track, all from the same set of coilovers. Audi describes the intent plainly through its own use case – a damper suitable for both weekend competition and everyday driving – and the construction reflects that, favouring a setup you can live with year-round over one that only makes sense on slicks.
