XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi S3 SEDAN 8V φ55 2013-2020

The 8V S3 Sedan carries its EA888 turbo four and quattro driveline ahead of the front axle, and that nose-heavy weight distribution is exactly what the factory dampers struggle to control once cornering loads build. XYZ Racing’s Super Sport coilover is built for the owner who splits time between fast-road driving and the odd trackday, giving the chassis the height range and damping adjustment to suit both without swapping parts.

Where the standard setup compromises between comfort and control, this kit lets you set the S3 Sedan up properly for whichever one you need that weekend.

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

Dropping the ride height and firming the spring rate cuts the nose dive that a front-heavy quattro platform is prone to under braking, sharpening turn-in on the S3 Sedan without unsettling the rear mid-corner. The 36-way damping adjustment means you can soften the compression circuit for a commute over broken B-roads, then wind it up before a track session so body control keeps pace with the car’s torque-rich all-wheel-drive traction out of slow corners. Ride height adjustment independent of spring preload lets you correct the factory’s slightly tall stance without disturbing corner-weight balance. The result is an S3 Sedan that turns in with less roll and gets power down earlier out of a bend, while staying usable for the motorway drive home.

About the Super Sport coilover

XYZ Racing built the Super Sport line to solve the usual coilover trade-off: enough compliance to deal with rough UK road surfaces without the harshness that turns a fast-road car into a chore. The damper body offers 36 clicks of adjustment, a range wide enough to soften the ride over broken tarmac or firm everything up for a circuit outing without changing components. Ride height is independently adjustable via the threaded body, so lowering the S3 doesn’t force a change in spring preload or alignment. It’s a dual-purpose damper rather than a single-focus track part – comfortable enough for daily use during the week, with enough adjustment range in reserve to sharpen the car up for a weekend on track.

Fitment for the Audi S3 Sedan (2013-2020)

This kit is built specifically for the 8V-generation Audi S3 Sedan, covering the 2013 to 2020 model years with the 55mm strut body (φ55) specification. Confirm your S3 Sedan sits within this chassis and year range before ordering, since strut geometry differs across Audi’s MQB-based generations.
