Audi R8 (42) with Coilover Suspension

The Audi R8 of the 42 series, produced from 2006 to 2015, is one of Audi’s most iconic sports coupés. As a mid-engine sports car with quattro all-wheel drive and powerful V8 or V10 engines, it stands for impressive performance and striking design. The 42A, 422, and 423 models cover various drivetrain and body configurations – from the classic Coupé to the open-top Spyder. Anyone looking to enhance the R8’s performance and appearance even further will greatly benefit from installing a high-quality coilover suspension system. A height-adjustable sport suspension allows for a custom lowering of the vehicle, significantly reducing the center of gravity. This results in more precise handling, sharper steering response, and improved driving dynamics on winding roads or at high speeds. Compared to a conventional sport suspension, a coilover system offers stepless adjustment of the vehicle height, perfectly tailored to individual driving needs. Especially in the Audi R8, the lowering provides a more planted stance and accentuates the car’s sporty character even further. Enthusiastic drivers benefit from a perfect combination of driving fun and everyday usability – whether with the 420 hp V8 or the 500+ hp V10. With a coilover suspension, the Audi R8 (42) becomes an even more dynamic supercar for the street.

The KW V3 coilover suspension with HLS 4 hydraulic lift system for the Audi R8 (42) offers maximum flexibility and day-to-day usability without compromising sporty performance.

The adjustable lowering range of 10–25 mm on both front and rear axles provides a noticeably more dynamic stance and highlights the mid-engine sports car’s design even further. A key feature is the HLS 4 hydraulic lift system, which allows you to raise the R8 at the push of a button – perfect for navigating driveways, speed bumps, or parking garages.

The separately adjustable compression and rebound damping enables you to fine-tune the suspension setup precisely to your driving style and road conditions – whether cruising country roads or pushing on the highway. The combination of precise handling, flexible ride height, and hydraulic lift functionality makes this coilover system one of the best solutions for ambitious R8 drivers who demand performance and practicality in one package.
