Nitron NTR-R3 Coilover Kit for 42 Audi R8

The Audi R8 42 is a platform with genuine race car DNA, and the factory suspension, while capable, leaves real performance on the table when the driving gets serious. The Nitron NTR-R3 coilover kit for the 42 R8, covering both V8 and V10 variants, is built for that level of development work; independent 3-way damping adjustment with separate high and low speed compression control gives drivers and engineers the range needed to properly dial the car in across different circuits and conditions. A large diameter piston and ultra-strong piston rod sit at the core of the design, providing the damping control and feedback that serious setups depend on, and that the R8’s mid-engine balance rewards when the suspension is set up correctly. Both front and rear units use remote hose mounted reservoirs, keeping high and low speed compression adjustment accessible at both ends without adding complexity to the installation. The R3 is a proven race winner with lap records across a wide range of international motorsport formulas, and every kit is custom built, custom sprung, and fully serviceable. Hard-anodized titanium finish parts and high-grade materials keep corrosion out and weight in check, so the dampers maintain their performance standard season after season.

Specialized Bi-Axis Hose Fittings

Nitron R3 Hose shocks use Nitron’s own 720 degree Bi-Axis fittings exclusively; a proprietary design that delivers clean, precise installation without the fitment compromises that come with conventional end fittings.

Unique Technology

Nitron builds every shock from 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 cutting corners on part quality or how components perform together under load. Everything is machined to tight tolerances and inspected individually by trained technicians; that quality control runs through every stage of production rather than being concentrated at the end. New materials, finishes, and processes are validated extensively before adoption, with proprietary Nitron technologies integrated throughout to produce shocks that consistently hold up against the competition on road and track. That engineering standard is what the brand has been built on since 1998.
- Basic Damper Design:
  1. End Eye / Top Mount
  2. Damper Piston & Shim Stack
  3. Shaft / Rod
  4. Floating / Separator Piston
  5. Suspension Oil
  6. Compressed Nitrogen Gas

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 determined by the specific platform, not borrowed from something close enough. The geometry, weight distribution, and suspension travel of the vehicle are part of the design from the beginning, not corrections introduced later. That’s the difference between suspension that works with a car and suspension that was developed for it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 3-way independent adjustment actually give you over the NTR-R1? The NTR-R3 separates high speed compression, low speed compression, and rebound into three independent adjusters; 16 clicks of high compression, 26 clicks of low compression, and 24 clicks of rebound. That means you can tune each parameter without one adjustment affecting the others, which matters when you’re developing a setup across different circuits or conditions. The NTR-R1 controls bump and rebound together through a single adjuster, which is more straightforward but doesn’t give you that level of independent control.
Why does the R8 run significantly stiffer rear spring rates than front? The R8’s mid-engine layout puts the majority of the car’s weight over the rear axle, and the spring rates are calibrated specifically around that. Running equal rates front to rear on a mid-engine car would produce an unbalanced setup; the R3 kit accounts for that from the start.
What reservoir type does the NTR-R3 use on the 42 R8? Both front and rear units use remote hose mounted reservoirs, keeping high and low speed compression adjustment accessible at both ends of the car without adding complexity to the installation.
Can spring rates be changed after the kit is built? Yes. Because every kit is custom built and custom sprung to order, spring rate changes can be worked through Nitron’s service program. Custom rates are also available at the time of order; contact us directly to discuss what works best for your specific use case and how you intend to use the car.
Are droplinks included with the kit? No, droplinks are not included. The kit consists of four coilovers, reservoirs, hoses, and top mounts covering front and rear.

About Nitron Suspension

Nitron Suspension has been at the forefront of precision suspension engineering since 1998, founded by Guy Evans with the goal of building high-performance shocks for enthusiasts and professionals alike. 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.
