XYZ Racing Super Sport Coilovers — Audi Q5 FY 4WD (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2017-2026

The FY-generation Q5 left the factory with adaptive electronic dampers wired into the chassis – clever on paper, restrictive in practice once you want a lower ride height, a firmer rate, or any honest feedback through the steering wheel. The XYZ Racing Super Sport coilover for the Audi Q5 FY 4WD ships as a cancellation kit, so the OE electronic damping system is bypassed cleanly and the car runs on a proper mechanical damper at every corner.

That matters on this chassis specifically. The Q5 carries a tall, nose-biased mass over a quattro driveline, and the standard adaptive setup spends most of its life softening body roll rather than controlling it. Swap to a 36-way adjustable mechanical platform and the car finally takes a set through a corner instead of leaning into it.

What this coilover does for your 2017-2026 Audi Q5

Lower the Q5 by a measured amount and you immediately drop the centre of gravity on a vehicle that needs it. The Super Sport’s 36-way damping adjustment lets you firm up rebound for motorway stability or back it off when the road surface turns broken and patched – useful on a daily that still has to absorb British B-roads. Turn-in sharpens because the dampers are now controlling weight transfer in a predictable, linear way rather than reacting through software. Brake dive is noticeably reduced, which on a heavy SUV is the difference between confident trail-braking and a nose that washes wide. Ride height adjustment is independent of damping, so you can sit the Q5 over its arches without losing usable travel.

About the Super Sport coilover

The Super Sport is XYZ Racing’s fast-road and weekend-track damper, built around a high-performance monotube body with 36-way bump-and-rebound adjustment on a single combined click. The damping curve has been valved specifically to eliminate the harshness that compromises lesser coilover kits on broken UK roads – the engineering brief here was a damper that survives a pothole at 50 mph without rattling fillings, while still holding shape under load on a track day. Ride height is set on the lower spring perch, keeping spring preload separate from damping behaviour. This Q5 FY application is supplied as a full cancellation kit, meaning the wiring and electronic control of the OE adaptive system is removed from the equation and the car runs purely on the mechanical platform. It is engineered for the driver who uses the car daily and occasionally takes it to a sprint, hillclimb or open-pitlane session.

Fitment for the Audi Q5 (2017-2026)

This kit fits the FY-generation Audi Q5 in 4WD quattro configuration, chassis code AU50-C, from 2017 through to 2026. It is specifically the cancellation variant – intended for cars fitted from the factory with the optional electronic / adaptive damping system. If your Q5 left Ingolstadt on passive dampers, you need the non-cancellation listing instead.
