XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Audi S3 SEDAN 8V φ55 (Modified Rear Integrated) 2013-2020

The Audi S3 Sedan 8V’s quattro layout sends turbocharged power through all four corners, but on a tarmac rally stage that same platform has to cope with cambers, compressions and broken edges that a circuit never throws at it. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover kit for the S3 Sedan 8V φ55 (Modified Rr Integrated) is built around that reality – a chassis that needs to stay planted and predictable when the road surface itself is the variable, not just the driver’s inputs.

Where a track-day set-up can assume a consistent, swept surface, this kit is tuned for stages where grip and camber change corner to corner. It’s set up to control body movement over compressions and crests without transmitting every impact straight into the cabin, so the car keeps working rather than skipping across broken sections.

What this coilover kit does for your 2013-2020 Audi S3 Sedan 8V

On the S3 Sedan 8V, front-end weight from the turbocharged engine and the quattro driveline already asks a lot of the standard dampers once you’re off smooth asphalt. This kit’s damping is set to absorb the jolt from a hard-hit pothole or a broken stage edge rather than pass that shock straight to the body, which keeps the chassis settled instead of deflecting off-line. Controlling that shock also protects tyre contact – on loose or damaged tarmac, a wheel that’s still loaded and tracking finds grip that a wheel thrown skyward never will. The 55mm damper body gives the kit the oil volume and heat capacity to keep that control consistent over a full stage rather than fading through it, and the rear integration accounts for the S3 Sedan’s multi-link rear rather than treating it as an afterthought. The net effect on the road is a car that stays stable and predictable when the surface stops behaving.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ Racing developed the Tarmac Rally line specifically for sealed-stage rally use, where the road surface is tarmac but rarely smooth – patched repairs, cambered lanes and mid-corner compressions are the norm rather than the exception. The damper is tuned to soak up the impact of that uneven surface, taking the edge off big hits rather than letting them jolt straight through the body structure. That control is what keeps the tyre loaded and searching for traction instead of skipping across a bump, which is the difference between staying on line and correcting for it mid-corner. Construction runs on a 55mm damper body, sized to give the internals enough oil volume to resist fade across a long stage rather than just a single hot lap. The valving and spring settings carry over from XYZ Racing’s own tarmac rally programme rather than being a road kit re-labelled for the job, so the balance is set for stage pace and repeated hard hits rather than a single track outing.

Fitment for the Audi S3 Sedan 8V (2013-2020)

This kit is specced for the Audi S3 Sedan 8V, chassis code AU54, covering the 2013 to 2020 model years. It’s built to the Modified Rr Integrated rear specification, so if your S3 Sedan 8V φ55 has already been fitted with the integrated rear modification, this kit is matched to that set-up rather than the standard rear mounting.
