XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi S3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2020

The 8V S3 Sedan carries its EA888 lump over the front axle with quattro hardware bolted on behind it, and that nose-heavy layout is exactly why the factory adaptive dampers compromise between comfort and control rather than committing to either. This Super Sport kit fits the φ55-strut cancellation-kit version of the chassis, meaning the electronic damping module is deleted from the equation and full manual control replaces it.

For fast-road driving with the occasional trackday, that’s the right trade. You stop relying on a control unit guessing what your car needs and start setting the damping yourself, corner by corner, road by road.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2020 Audi S3 Sedan

Ride height adjustment lets you correct the S3’s factory-set stance and drop the centre of gravity without touching spring rate, which matters on a chassis already carrying quattro’s extra driveline mass up front. The 36-way damping adjustment gives you a genuinely wide spread between a setting that survives potholed B-roads and one that controls body roll through a fast direction change, so the same car can do the commute and the trackday without a spanner in hand at either end. Because this cancellation-kit version removes the OEM electronic damper control entirely, there’s no fighting a factory ECU that wants to soften the ride the moment you lift off – the damping stays exactly where you left it. That directness is what the 8V S3’s weight transfer under trail-braking actually rewards.

About the Super Sport coilover

Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s damper built to take the harshness out of poor road surfaces without giving up the control a heavier, quattro-equipped chassis like the S3’s needs. The 36-way adjustment range covers everything from a settling ride for daily driving to a firmer setup for weekend circuit sessions, all from the same set of dampers. Ride height is independently adjustable, so corner weighting and stance can be dialled separately from damping firmness. Construction is matched to this specific cancellation-kit application, meaning the dampers are built to run correctly with the electronic damping system removed rather than adapted after the fact. It’s positioned as a dual-use damper – one set of coilovers doing both the school run and a Sunday track session – rather than a single-purpose track part.

Fitment for the Audi S3 Sedan (2013-2020)

This kit is built for the Audi S3 Sedan on the 8V platform, φ55 strut diameter, specifically the cancellation-kit variant for cars fitted with electronic damping from the factory. Coverage spans the 2013 to 2020 model years for this chassis code. Confirm your car carries the electronic-damper-equipped 8V S3 Sedan spec before ordering, as the standard (non-cancellation) 8V kit uses a different damper configuration.
