The 2015+ Audi R8 Alpine series is the adjustable suspension system you need to consider if you want to replace your defective magnetic suspension, improve handling performance or simply get an aggressive look by lowering the car to reach the fitment and ride height you were always looking for.
The monotube design configuration, added to the completely threaded body result in a fully adjustable long lasting suspension. As the ride height is set by the overall shock length, the spring preload, comfort level and suspension travel remains the same at any ride height setting compared to other suspension where the ride height is set by the spring seat, resulting in reducing the allowed travel as you lower the ride height.
The AU31-AS is offered in 3 different version depending the ride height range, comfort level and use each customer is looking for.
– OE Replacement version: This version is designed to keep a really close to OEM comfort level while still improving handling performance over stock. This version is not designed to go more than -0.5 inch from stock at minimum ride height setting. The OE replacement version is more used by people looking to replace a defect magnetic suspension and keep the stock look and comfort level
– Regular version: This version is the most used by customer looking to lower their R8. It allow a ride height adjustment from stock to approximately -2.5 inch. Comfort level is still really acceptable for daily use but certainly have to feel sportier to prevent any rubbing issue when lowered. The comfort feels pretty close to Sport Mode on the OE magnetic suspension. The stiffer spring rate and valving give significantly improved handling performance over stock.
– Low Version: This Version is more a customized based on each customer needs. It is used for extreme fitment or track use and require to contact us by email to have our tech team helping you figure the needed spring rate, shock length and valving required to fit your exact needs. That is why we recommend to contact us before adding the low version to your cart.
This application use a double wishbone suspension configuration for both front and rear. This means that the shock have no direct impact on the wheel alignment. Every cars alignment is affected the more you lower it and depending on the suspension geometry. The R8 factory control arm don’t have any camber adjustment so if you plan to significanlty lower your car, your alignment specialist may offer you to add camber shims to get perfect wheel alignment to prevent excessive tire wear and optimal performance.
We can always customize the spring rate and shock length to fit your exact needs on this application.
All our Alpine series use stainless hardware, to ensure the suspension look like new for years, Alpine series specific internal components and fluid and 24 dampening level to fine tune the comfort level/valving efficiency where you want it to be .
