Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers – Audi A3/S3/RS3 8V-8Y / TT/TTS/TTRS 8S / VW Golf R Mk7/Mk8 (AWD)

Öhlins Road & Track Coilovers – Audi A3/S3/RS3 / TT/TTS/TTRS / VW Golf R (AWD)

Part Number: VWS MU21S2 | Drivetrain: AWD / Quattro / 4Motion models only

Over 40 years of motorsport engineering distilled into a street-ready coilover kit. The Öhlins Road & Track series delivers a genuine racing experience without sacrificing daily drivability — thanks to Öhlins' proprietary Dual Flow Valve (DFV) technology. This AWD-specific kit (VWS MU21S2) features a higher rear spring rate than the FWD variant, tuned for the additional weight and traction demands of all-wheel drive platforms. Springs included. Weight reduction of approx. 10kg compared to original suspension.

⚠️ AWD / Quattro / 4Motion models only. For FWD models, see VWS MU21S1.

⚠️ Note: For vehicles equipped OE with DDC (Dynamic Damper Control) electronic suspension, an Öhlins cancellation kit is also required (sold separately). See cancellation kit table below.

Vehicle Fitment — AWD Models (55mm Front McPherson Strut)

Technical Specifications — VWS MU21S2 (AWD)

What is DFV (Dual Flow Valve)?

DFV is Öhlins' proprietary damping technology that sets the Road & Track range apart from conventional coilovers. The dual flow valve provides consistent damping characteristics on both compression and rebound strokes — the damper fluid follows a consistent flow path in both directions. This means the wheel and tyre can rapidly return to the road surface after a bump, maximising grip and traction at all times.

Because DFV opens more quickly on minor road imperfections, ride comfort is surprisingly supple — more akin to an OEM strut than a typical coilover. Over undulating surfaces, the compliance of the R&T units allows the car to crest bumps and potholes while remaining stable and in control. Traction is always maintained at its optimum level.
