Nitron NTR-R1 Coilover Kit w/ Standalone FAL for 4S Audi R8
The Audi R8 4S is the second generation of a platform that was already serious about performance, and the factory suspension, while more refined than its predecessor, still leaves room on the table when the driving gets demanding. The Nitron NTR-R1 coilover kit for the 4S R8, supplied here with Nitron’s Standalone Front Axle Lift system, closes that gap with precision-engineered, combined 2-way damping adjustment drawn directly from the R3 race platform, sharing core components with a kit built for professional competition. There’s no remote canister to package around, and every unit is individually hand-built with ultra-low friction components that deliver consistent, fade-resistant damping from the street to the circuit. The included FAL addresses one of the more practical challenges of running a lowered R8 on the road, raising the front axle by 25mm to clear driveways, speed bumps, and parking obstacles without affecting the suspension setup or the driving experience once conditions return to normal. Hard-anodized titanium finish parts and high-grade materials keep corrosion out and weight in check, and with each kit custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable, it’s an investment that holds up well beyond a single season.
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
Unique Technology
- Every Nitron shock starts with precision components that have been through a thorough design and development process before they reach final assembly. The modular construction gives engineers the flexibility to tailor each application properly, without compromising how individual parts are made or how they perform together. Components are machined to tight tolerances and inspected one by one by trained technicians as part of a strict quality control process. New materials, finishes, and processes go through extensive validation before adoption, with Nitron-specific technologies integrated to produce shocks that genuinely outlast and outperform competing options on the road and track. That standard of engineering is what Nitron’s reputation is built on.
Bespoke Engineering
- Nitron doesn’t pull a generic damper off a shelf and adjust the valving to fit. Every application goes through a dedicated development process, with components, spring rates, and damping characteristics engineered specifically for the platform in question. That means the geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of a given car are factored into the design from the start, not compensated for after the fact. It’s the difference between a kit built for your car and a kit built for a category of cars your vehicle happens to fall into.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need the Nitron Electronic Damping Delete Kit with this coilover kit? If your R8 4S is equipped with Audi Magnetic Ride, yes. Replacing the factory electronic damping system with a non-electronic coilover kit will typically trigger fault codes and warning lights without it. The Nitron Electronic Damping Delete Kit is sold separately and prevents those error messages when the Magnetic Ride system is removed.
- Does the FAL affect the suspension setup or how the car drives? No. The FAL operates entirely independently of the coilover setup. 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, the car drives exactly as it did before the lift was activated.
- How does this kit differ from the standard NTR-R1 for the 4S R8? The coilover hardware is identical. The difference is the inclusion of the Standalone Front Axle Lift system. If you’re driving the R8 regularly on public roads and front clearance is a recurring issue, 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, adjustable top mounts, and the FAL kit covering front and rear, with precision bearing spacers supplied as required.
- Is the Nitron NTR-R1 serviceable after purchase? Yes. Every NTR-R1 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.

Over 200 dealers now carry Nitron products across Europe, Asia, the US, Australasia, and Africa. In 2008, the company moved into a dedicated facility in the UK’s Motorsport Valley, adding dynamometers, 5-axis CNC machines, and 3D CAD capabilities to support both growing demand and continued product development. A second expansion came in 2023 with a new office in Murrieta, California. The team behind every Nitron product draws from deep backgrounds in machining, materials technology, hydraulics, bike engineering, and F1 racing, with many engineers bringing firsthand experience as competitive drivers and riders. That depth of knowledge across both the technical and competitive sides of motorsport shapes every product Nitron develops.
