XYZ Racing Street Advanced Coilovers — Audi S3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Modified Rear Integrated) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2013-2020

The 8V S3 Sedan’s factory-fit electronic damping system, standard on a good number of these cars, complicates any coilover swap because the OE electronics still expect a signal from dampers that no longer exist. This Street Advanced kit resolves that with a cancellation kit built in, so the EA888’s front-end weight and the Haldex-driven rear axle get proper mechanical damping instead of a dashboard full of fault codes.

Street Advanced is XYZ Racing’s fast-road platform: full height and damping adjustment for S3 owners who want the car lower and sharper for a spirited B-road session, or the odd track day, without giving up the comfort a quattro saloon this capable still needs for the motorway commute.

What this coilover does for your 2013-2020 Audi S3

Drop the ride height and firm up the spring rates on an S3 and the quattro drivetrain finally has a chassis to match it. The 8V’s nose carries the EA888 block and the AWD hardware, and 720 damping adjustment steps let you wind in enough low-speed compression to check that weight under trail-braking into a hairpin, then back it off for the drive home. The rear, running the Modified Rr Integrated set-up fitted to this application, holds its line under the Haldex clutch’s torque split rather than squatting the way tired OE dampers do. The result is a lower centre of gravity, sharper turn-in, and a damping range wide enough to run the car as stiff or as liveable as the week ahead demands.

About the Street Advanced coilover

Street Advanced is the volume seller in the XYZ Racing coilover range, refined across seasons of development and used in racing programmes run by XYZ-affiliated teams worldwide. It’s built for drivers who split their year between road miles and the occasional circuit outing rather than committing fully to one or the other. The headline figure is 720 damping adjustment steps, giving a genuinely fine gradient between plush and firm rather than the handful of clicks cheaper kits offer, so one kit can be softened for a long run or wound up for a trackday. Construction follows XYZ’s usual adjustable-damper body with independent ride-height control, and on this Audi application the kit ships with the cancellation kit needed to run mechanical damping in place of the factory electronic system. It’s built for drivers who want to go quickly and stay composed doing it, on the road as much as the circuit.
