Öhlins DFV Road & Track Coilovers for 8V Audi RS3
The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for Audi RS3 8V are built for one of the most performance-focused compact cars in Audi’s lineup. The RS3 8V arrives with a turbocharged five-cylinder, quattro all-wheel drive, and genuine performance intent from the factory; this kit gives the chassis the damping capability to keep pace with all of that, whether you’re running the car hard on a circuit or making the most of it on a twisting back road.
How the DFV System Works
- Öhlins’ Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology handles the transition between road and race damping with a single adjustment. Turning the gold knob clockwise engages race mode across all four damping zones at once: low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound. Reverse it and the damper returns to a relaxed road setting. No tools, no separate adjustments per corner. On track, the DFV internals respond quickly to surface changes, keeping all four tires loaded through corners and stable under the hard braking the RS3 is capable of. The quattro platform already puts power down with confidence; this kit gives the chassis the damping support to extract more from that traction at the limit and keep the car balanced and predictable when you’re pushing it. Off track, the same system softens its response and filters road imperfections without the harshness that typically comes with a performance spring rate.
Suspension Specs and Construction
- The front uses McPherson strut monotube upside-down technology, positioning the damper mass lower in the assembly to reduce unsprung weight and sharpen turn-in response. The front runs a 70 N/mm spring rate with a spring preload adjuster and uses the original Audi top mounts. The rear uses a conventional shock absorber with an 80 N/mm spring rate and a spring preload adjuster, also retaining the original top mounts. The stiffer rear rate supports the RS3’s weight distribution and keeps the rear axle composed under the lateral and longitudinal loads a track session puts through the suspension. Both ends use a single adjuster covering compression and rebound damping together, keeping the setup process clean without sacrificing meaningful adjustability.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do these Öhlins Road & Track coilovers fit the Audi RS3 8V? Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers are designed specifically for the Audi RS3 8V platform. Contact Bulletproof Automotive before ordering to confirm fitment for your specific build, regional variant, or model year.
- How does the DFV adjustment work on the Audi RS3 8V coilover kit? The Dual Flow Valve (DFV) uses a single gold knob on each damper. Turning it clockwise engages race mode, adjusting low-speed compression, high-speed compression, low-speed rebound, and high-speed rebound all at once. Turning it back returns the damper to road mode. No tools are required for the adjustment.
- Do these coilovers include ride height adjustment? Yes. Both the front and rear assemblies include individual height adjustment via a spring preload adjuster on each corner. Both ends retain the original Audi top mounts, so no additional top mount purchase is required.
- What are the spring rates on the Öhlins Audi RS3 8V coilover kit? The front spring rate is 70 N/mm and the rear spring rate is 80 N/mm. The slightly stiffer rear rate supports the RS3’s weight distribution and keeps the rear axle composed under hard cornering and braking.
- Are these Öhlins coilovers TÜV approved? Yes. The Öhlins Road & Track coilovers for Audi RS3 8V carry TÜV approval, confirming they meet the technical and safety standards required for road use in TÜV-regulated markets.
- Can these dampers be rebuilt after extended track use? Yes. Every damper in the Öhlins Road & Track kit for Audi RS3 8V is fully rebuildable. This allows for servicing after heavy use and makes custom tuning possible for drivers who want to optimize the setup for a specific track or driving style.
