Nitron elec-TRON R3 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for 4S Audi R8
The Nitron elec-TRON R3 coilover kit for the 4S Audi R8, supplied here with Nitron’s Standalone Front Axle Lift system, combines electronic damping control through Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve with independent manual compression adjustment, giving drivers and engineers control over both the active and mechanical sides of the damping setup. Remote hose mounted reservoirs allow for straightforward independent adjustment of high and low speed compression, while the elec-TRON DSC Sport V1 controller handles overall damping in real time; note that the V1 is required and sold separately. Adjustable top mounts and race springs are included, and the kit is built for drivers who want to extract the most from the 4S R8’s second-generation mid-engine platform on road or track without leaving performance on the table. The included FAL addresses the practical challenge of running a lowered R8 on public roads, raising the front axle by 25mm to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without affecting the suspension setup or how the car drives once conditions return to normal.
elec-TRON
- Nitron’s elec-TRON system is built around a proprietary proportional solenoid valve fitted to each shock individually, giving the elec-TRON DSC Sport V1 controller precise, independent damping control at every corner of the car. Brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering inputs, and vehicle speed are all monitored simultaneously, with damping adjustments made in real time. The suspension is responding to what the road and the driver are doing as it happens, not catching up after the fact.
Standalone Electronic Damping System
- The elec-TRON DSC Sport V1 controller is required for the elec-TRON R3 kit on the 4S Audi R8 and is sold separately. It replaces the factory shock controller entirely, interfacing directly with the factory dash display and controls so nothing is lost from the driver’s perspective. Working in conjunction with Nitron’s elec-TRON valve, the V1 continuously processes brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering inputs, and vehicle speed to determine the correct valve position and damping level at any given moment. The result is a fully user-definable suspension platform that isn’t locked to a fixed damping rate; the driver can digitally tune the chassis the same way they would tune an engine, dialing in more grip for the track or a more compliant setup for the street. Full individual shock calibration tables give experienced drivers and engineers the depth to develop a setup properly, while the factory interface keeps the experience seamless from behind the wheel.

The Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL)
- Running a lowered performance car on the road comes with a familiar set of frustrations; steep driveways, speed bumps, and parking lot ramps that sit just low enough to make every approach a calculation. The Nitron Front Axle Lift system is built around that specific problem. With 25mm of lift available at the front axle, it clears the obstacles that lowered ride heights make problematic without requiring any changes to the suspension setup and without affecting how the car performs once you’re back on the road or circuit. It’s a practical addition to a performance suspension package, not a compromise of one.
- 250W pump
- 25mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3-seconds
- Audible in-cabin warning system
- Switch with built-in warning light
- Auto off function
- Protects your car from damage caused by steep driveways and speed bumps
- Compatible with a wide range of suspension setups
Specialized Bi-Axis Hose Fittings
- Nitron R3 Hose shocks use Nitron’s own 720 degree Bi-Axis fittings exclusively; a proprietary design that makes for clean, precise installation without the compromises that come with conventional end fittings.
Unique Technology
- Nitron starts every shock with precision components that go through a thorough design and development process long before final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to approach each application on its own terms, without compromising part quality or how components perform together under real load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and inspected individually by trained technicians; that standard of quality control runs through every stage of production, not just the end of it. New materials, finishes, and processes go through extensive validation before they’re adopted, with proprietary Nitron technologies built in throughout to produce shocks that consistently hold up against the competition on road and track. That’s the engineering foundation the brand has been built on since 1998.
Bespoke Engineering
- Nitron doesn’t adapt a generic damper to fit a car; they engineer one around it. Every application goes through a dedicated development process where components, spring rates, and damping characteristics are shaped by the specific platform, not carried over from something similar enough to work. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of the vehicle are part of the design from day one, not corrections introduced later. That’s the difference between suspension that works with a car and suspension that was purpose-built for it.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Is the DSC Sport V1 controller included with this kit? No. The DSC Sport V1 controller is required for the elec-TRON R3 to function and is sold separately. Without it, the electronic damping system cannot operate. The V1 replaces the factory shock controller and interfaces directly with the R8’s factory dash display and controls, so all factory functionality is retained.
- What does the DSC Sport V1 controller offer over a standard suspension setup? The V1 is fully user-definable, processing brake pressure, g-force, acceleration, steering inputs, and vehicle speed simultaneously to determine the correct damping level in real time. Full individual shock calibration tables give drivers and engineers the ability to digitally tune the chassis; more grip for the track, more compliance for the street. The factory interface stays fully intact, so the driving experience from behind the wheel is seamless.
- Does the FAL affect the suspension setup or the electronic damping behavior? No. The FAL operates entirely independently of both the coilover setup and the DSC Sport V1 controller. Spring rates, damping settings, and geometry remain exactly as configured when the system raises or lowers the front axle. Once you’re back on the road or circuit, everything works exactly as it did before the lift was activated.
- How does the elec-TRON R3 differ from the NTR-R3 for the 4S R8? The NTR-R3 uses fully manual 3-way independent damping adjustment. The elec-TRON R3 keeps that manual compression adjustment capability via the remote hose mounted reservoirs but adds Nitron’s proportional solenoid valve and DSC Sport V1-controlled active damping on top of it, providing real-time electronic damping control alongside the manual setup capability.
- How does this kit differ from the elec-TRON R3 without the FAL? The coilover and electronic damping hardware is identical. The difference is the inclusion of the Standalone Front Axle Lift system. If front clearance is a recurring concern when driving the R8 on public roads, this kit covers both the performance suspension and the practical street usability in a single purchase.
- Are droplinks included with the kit? No, droplinks are not included. The kit consists of four coilovers, reservoirs, hoses, adjustable top mounts, and the FAL kit covering front and rear.
- Is the Nitron elec-TRON R3 serviceable after purchase? Yes. Every elec-TRON R3 kit is fully serviceable. Nitron hand-builds each unit to order, and the design supports long-term maintenance rather than requiring full replacement when performance eventually needs refreshing.
