Nitron NTR R1 Coilovers - Audi R8 Gen 2 4S
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
Get Booked in for fitting here
Nitron NTR R1 suspension for the Audi R8 Gen 2, type 4S offers combined compression/rebound adjustment in a serviceable damper package. This is the second-generation R8 listing, not the earlier type 42 application.
Confirm the R8 configuration
Provide the exact derivative, body style, drivetrain and factory suspension equipment before ordering. Quattro and rear-wheel-drive cars, Coupe and Spyder versions, and different original damper packages must not be treated as interchangeable solely because they are Gen 2 R8s.
Where the car has magnetic ride or other electronic suspension equipment, confirm the required integration or cancellation arrangements. This listing is for conventional NTR R1 suspension, not an elec-TRON or front-axle-lift package. Such systems are not implied to be supplied or retained by the product name.
What R1 adjustment provides
One damping adjuster changes compression and rebound together. This offers a simpler tuning workflow than managing independent compression circuits. Spring specification, available travel and final ride height still need to be matched to the car, tyre grip and road/track use.
Confirm the exact build reference, mounts and supplied hardware before purchase. The product has one purchase variant. Nitron's serviceable dampers support later maintenance; photography may show representative components rather than the exact kit.
Installation and ongoing setup
Use a suitably experienced installer to inspect mounts, check clearance through steering and suspension travel, and complete alignment. Confirm current build timing before booking workshop dates. Browse the Nitron suspension range for the adjustment families and other applications, without assuming a different-generation R8 kit is a direct substitute.

Nitron FAQ's
Here's some frequently asked questions about Nitron Suspension
Which Nitron suspension kit is best for road use?
For most road and fast road cars, we’d usually look at the Nitron RoadSport or NTR R1 kits. The RoadSport kit is designed to balance performance, comfort and reliability, while still keeping ride quality sensible for daily driving. The NTR R1 is a step up if you want more adjustment and a more focused road/track setup.
What is the difference between Nitron RoadSport, R1 and R3 coilovers?
The Nitron RoadSport kit is the most road-focused option, using OE top mounts and following the OE rear suspension type, making it a good choice for comfort and everyday use. The NTR R1 gives you easy-to-use 2-way combined damping control and is built for strong road and track performance. The NTR R3 is the more serious option, with independent 3-way damping adjustment, giving separate control of rebound, high-speed compression and low-speed compression for drivers who want to fine-tune the car properly.
Are Nitron coilovers suitable for track use?
Yes, Nitron suspension is very well suited to track use, but the right kit depends on how serious the car is. The NTR R1 is a strong option for fast road and track day use, while the NTR R3 is better suited to more focused builds where you want a larger range of adjustment and more detailed control over the car’s behaviour.
Are Nitron coilovers rebuildable or serviceable?
Yes, one of the big benefits of Nitron suspension is that the shocks are designed to be fully serviceable. Nitron state that their modular shock design allows products to be serviced, with critical components, fluids, gas, seals and bushes replaced to return the product to an “as new” technical condition.
What does Nitron R3 adjustment actually do?
Nitron R3 coilovers give independent 3-way damping adjustment. That means you can adjust rebound separately from high-speed and low-speed compression. In simple terms, it gives much more control over how the car reacts under braking, cornering, kerb strikes, bumps and weight transfer. For most normal road cars it may be more than needed, but for track-focused cars it’s a proper step up.
Do Nitron coilovers need setting up after fitting?
Yes, definitely. Nitron suspension should be installed properly, and after fitting we’d always recommend setting ride height sensibly, checking preload where applicable and carrying out a full alignment. For more serious road and track cars, corner weighting and proper geometry setup are well worth doing so you actually get the benefit from the suspension rather than just fitting it and leaving it.
What is the difference between a divorced rear and a true rear coilover setup?
On some vehicles, the factory rear suspension uses a divorced layout, where the spring and damper are mounted separately. A true rear coilover setup moves the spring onto the damper body, creating a coilover-style rear arrangement. The best option depends on the vehicle, how it’s used and what the suspension kit is designed for. For most road and fast road builds, we’d normally stick with the layout recommended by Nitron for that specific application.
Should I choose a divorced rear or true rear coilover setup?
If the car is mainly used on the road, a divorced rear setup is often the more suitable choice, especially where it follows the original suspension design. A true rear coilover setup can offer more adjustment and can be useful on certain track-focused builds, but it is not always the best option for every car. We’d always recommend choosing the correct Nitron kit for the vehicle rather than assuming true rear is automatically better.
