AUDI R8 07-15 ALPINE SERIES

(1 customer review)

Our Alpine Series is the best choice to keep the comfort of your exotic/sport car without affecting its value. This suspension system provides performance without sacrificing comfort; it provides everything you need to enjoy driving your car on the street or at the track. It can also be a good alternative to replace a costly factory suspension.

The Alpine Series has been designed to work in harmony with Swift springs, but we do offer to order them with regular SCALE springs to work with different budgets.

Version *

TThis version is designed to keep a really close to factory comfort level while still improving handling performance over stock. This version is not designed to go more than approximately -0.5 to -1 inch from stock at minimum ride height setting. The OE replacement version is more used by people looking to replace a defect factory suspension, keep the stock look or slightly lowered and OE comfort level.
The regular version is the mostly used configuration. It is designed to gives approximately 3 inch of adjustment range from stock ride height on most application. In default configuration, the spring rate used is the best to keep a close to OEM comfort level while improving handling performance and reducing suspension travel. It can also be customized with different spring rate for spirited driving or occasional track use. Regular version is normally designed to reach up to a tire to fender fitment at the lowest ride height setting.
Our low version is ideal for more tight fitment and larger wheels. The 15-20% stiffer spring rate used significantly reduce the suspension travel to prevent rubbing issues when you plan to ride pretty low, tuck the tires or use aggressive offset where the wheel poke out of the fender. It’s still comfortable for street use but certainly feels a bit sportier. The low version use components to give 1 to 1.5 extra inch of drop compared to the regular version of the same application. This means the tire can be partially hidden into the fender at lowest setting but will stay 1-1.5 inch lower than factory ride height when adjusted at highest setting.

About this coilover

The 2007-2015 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 AU21-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 .

Feel free to email our sales for any specific needs so they can help you figure out the best configuration for you.

    AUDI R8 4.2 SPYDER

    I am glad I came across SCALE; I was experiencing a harsh bumpy ride in my 2011 Audi R8 with only 27,000 km. Spoke to SCALE and not only did they provide me with quick response times to my emails but also provided a very pleasant communication experience.

    I was able to get all my questions answered and they diagnosed my car to have defective OEM Shocks/Springs just by way of communicating. After getting my shocks checked by my mechanic they were indeed leaking.

    I ordered Scale Shocks/Springs for my car, and they actually arrived at my house in a matter of days (very fast shipping).

    After installing and adjusting the ride height, I took the R8 for a test drive and I kid you not I fell in love with my R8 even more. I had pure smiles on my face and realized how great SCALE Shocks/Springs are over the Magnetic Ride; even before they were leaking.

    I wrote this review after driving my car for 3 days just to make sure and I assure you, that SCALE is much better for handling and ride experience.
