Audi S5 B8 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2007-2016 — Coilovers

The B8 S5’s longitudinal engine sits ahead of the front axle line, loading the nose and giving the quattro platform its trademark stubborn understeer the moment you commit to a corner. This XYZ Racing coilover kit for the Audi S5 B8 4WD is built to attack exactly that trait – lowering the centre of gravity, tightening body control, and giving you a spring and damper platform you can actually tune the front-to-rear balance with.

Crucially, this is the variant supplied with the cancellation kit for electronic damping. The factory S5 ran Audi Drive Select adaptive dampers, and ripping those out usually throws a suspension fault on the dash. The included module spoofs the electronic damper signal so the car reads a healthy system while you run a fully manual, height-adjustable coilover underneath.

What this coilover does for your 2007-2016 Audi S5 B8 4WD

Drop the ride height and you immediately pull weight transfer down where the chassis wants it, calming the float over crests and the lean the standard S5 carries into faster bends. The manual damping adjustment lets you firm up the front to wake up turn-in, or soften the rear a touch to stop a heavy quattro tail from running wide on exit. Corner-balanced spring rates take the spongy, comfort-biased feel out of the standard setup without turning a daily B8 into something you can’t live with on a British B-road. And because the cancellation kit kills the electronic damping warning, none of that comes with a permanently lit dashboard.

About the XYZ Racing coilover range

XYZ Racing builds this kit as a fully threaded-body coilover with independent ride-height and damping adjustment, designed and tested by XYZ racing teams across road, circuit and rally use. The S5 B8 application is offered across the full range – Super Sport for fast road, Top Sport for track days, Racing Spec and Circuit Master for committed circuit work, plus Tarmac Rally, Pro Rally and Drift Spec for more specialised builds. Each tier shifts the spring rate and valving to suit the job, but all share the same hardened construction and the electronic damping cancellation hardware needed to clear the B8’s adaptive system. Pick the type that matches how hard you actually drive the car.

Fitment for the Audi S5 B8 4WD (2007-2016)

This kit is specced for the Audi S5 B8 4WD quattro coupe, chassis reference AU28-1-C, covering the 2007 to 2016 model years across the pre-facelift and B8.5 facelift cars. It is the electronic-damping variant, so it includes the cancellation module required for S5s originally fitted with Audi Drive Select adaptive dampers.
