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.

With the KW V4 Clubsport for the Audi RS3 8Y, you will experience significantly sharper turn-in behavior and more precise feedback at the limit.

Is the 8Y RS3 tuneable?
Sure! The Audi RS3 8Y (also called: GY) is a popular car for automotive tuning, especially in the section of improving the driving dynamics. Coilover suspensions are a popular way to give your car an even sportier look, a fiercer driving experience, or to increase the subjective driving safety.
My RS3 has adaptive suspension. What do I do?
Retrofitting a KW coilover kit requires replacing the adaptive dampers. To avoid error messages, use our KW cancellation kit for your Audi RS3 (8Y). This ensures a quick and easy damper replacement.
What is the service life of KW coilovers?
KW coilover suspensions - including your Audi RS3 8Y coilover suspension - are made from rust-free, weather-resistant materials in Germany. The product is insensitive to dirt and can withstand the toughest influences. This ensures that the product will last at least the life of the vehicle.
What is the difference between RS3 GY and 8Y?
There is almost no difference between the two designations. In this case, the 'G' merely stands for a model after the facelift, which was introduced in August 2024. This is therefore not a different vehicle model, but a more modern version of the RS3.
