Ohlins B8 A4 S4 / A5 S5 / RS4 RS5 Coilover Suspension - Road & Track
The Öhlins Road & Track Coilover Suspension for the Audi A4, S4, A5, S5, RS4, and RS5 (B8) is engineered to deliver a precise balance between track-focused performance and everyday drivability. Built around Öhlins' Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology, this system provides exceptional control over both compression and rebound damping, allowing the suspension to respond accurately to changing road and circuit conditions while maintaining consistent tire contact across all four corners.
Unlike conventional damper designs, the DFV system manages fluid flow across the full range of shaft speeds. At low shaft speeds, fluid passes through the bleed circuit for controlled, compliant damping. As shaft speed increases, flow transitions through the piston ports, and under high load or sudden impacts, the DFV opens to allow additional flow. This results in improved bump absorption, increased traction, and reduced harshness without sacrificing the planted, composed feel that defines Audi's sport sedan and coupe lineup.
Öhlins compensates for heat-induced changes in fluid viscosity using a temperature-reactive needle bleed valve, which adjusts flow as damper temperatures rise during extended track use. This ensures consistent, predictable handling from the first lap to the last, regardless of ambient conditions or the demands placed on the suspension.
Ride height adjustment is handled independently from spring preload through a threaded lower mount design. This allows precise lowering without altering spring characteristics or reducing suspension travel, preserving the engineered balance of the system across all driving conditions.
