Audi A5 B8 with Coilover Suspension

Produced between 2007 and 2016, the Audi A5 B8 impresses with its sporty yet elegant design and strong focus on driving dynamics. Whether as a coupé, cabriolet, or Sportback, the A5 B8 combines premium craftsmanship with a balanced mix of performance and daily usability. Especially the quattro models stand out with their impressive traction and confident road manners. A height-adjustable performance suspension – in other words, a coilover suspension – enhances the A5 B8's driving dynamics even further. By lowering the ride height individually, not only does the vehicle’s stance become more aggressive, but handling also becomes noticeably more responsive. Compared to a conventional sports suspension, a coilover allows continuous ride height adjustment – a clear advantage for drivers who value flexibility and precise handling. While a sports suspension offers a fixed drop, a coilover system lets you adapt to changing conditions – whether in daily use or on twisty country roads. For the Audi A5 B8, upgrading to a coilover suspension results in an even more engaging driving experience and further emphasizes the vehicle’s dynamic character.

The KW V1 coilover suspension delivers a significant upgrade for your Audi A5 (B8) F53. Especially in the sporty coupé version from Ingolstadt, which already offers dynamic handling from the factory, this suspension further enhances agility and lowers the center of gravity. With its continuously adjustable lowering range from 35 to 60 mm at both front and rear, you can fine-tune the ride height to perfectly match your driving style and aesthetic preferences. Crafted from high-quality stainless steel, the KW V1 is known for its durability and corrosion resistance – making it ideal for year-round use.
