No compromises: the Audi RS3 (8Y) coilover suspension delivers both performance and comfort
The Audi RS3 (8Y/GY) comes with a sporty suspension as standard. This is undoubtedly a suitable setup for this car. Nevertheless, some drivers want extra driving comfort or more flexibility in everyday use. There is a widespread assumption in the industry that sporty driving and comfort are mutually exclusive. The good news is that with KW suspensions, you don't have to choose â we can do both. Discover our suspension solutions for your RS3 (8Y). We offer various products for everyday use (RS3 8Y coilovers, height-adjustable springs, adaptive dampers) or track days (Clubsport coilover suspension).
The factory suspension
The standard suspension of the Audi RS3 8Y is well tuned for sporty everyday suitability and is optionally available with adaptive damper control. Nevertheless, there can be a subjective lack of driving stability at very high speeds. This is where KW comes in, offering a convincing combination of sportiness, comfort, and more precise handling, thanks to its Audi RS3 suspension, even at the limit.

What is the difference between RS3 GY and 8Y?
