Audi S4 B8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2008-2016 — Coilovers

The B8 S4 hangs its supercharged 3.0 TFSI V6 ahead of the front axle, and anyone who has leaned on one through a quick corner knows the consequence: a nose that wants to wash wide as the front quattro hardware loads up. This XYZ Racing coilover kit for the Audi S4 B8 goes straight at that trait, swapping the height-fixed factory struts for ride height and damping you set yourself.

This is the variant built specifically for cars optioned with Audi’s electronic damping. The kit is configured to cancel the adaptive damper circuit, so the dash stays clean and the car drops onto proper mechanical coilovers without throwing a fault. Choose the spec that matches how you actually drive the 2008-2016 S4 and the chassis starts behaving the way the engineering always hinted it could.

What these coilovers do for your 2008-2016 Audi S4 B8

Dropping the ride height pulls that heavy longitudinal V6 and the quattro driveline closer to the road, cutting the body roll the standard S4 leans on mid-corner. With adjustable damping you can firm up the front end to slow the weight transfer onto the nose, which is exactly where the B8 needs help on turn-in and under trail braking. Brake dive settles, the back axle stays more planted on power, and the stance tightens up over the arches. On a fast road the result is a calmer, flatter car; on a circuit it is one that finally rotates instead of ploughing.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

This is a full coilover conversion, not a lowering spring, so you get independent control over corner height and ride quality across the whole kit. The family spans several tiers – Super Sport and Top Sport for fast-road and occasional track use, Racing Spec and Circuit Master for harder circuit work, Tarmac Rally and Pro Rally for stage duty, and Drift Spec for a more aggressive rear bias. The higher tiers add finer damping adjustment so you can match spring and damper behaviour to your surface and tyre. Crucially for this S4 variant, the electronic damping cancellation hardware is part of the package, replacing the adaptive struts with serviceable, rebuildable coilovers and keeping the car’s warning systems quiet.

Fitment for the Audi S4 B8 (2008-2016)

Built for the B8 S4 quattro (chassis code AU22-1-C) across the full 2008-2016 model span. This is the 4WD variant specified for cars fitted with Audi’s electronic adjustable damping, and the kit includes the cancellation hardware for that system. Confirm your car carries the adaptive damper option before ordering this version.
