Alright, let’s talk about the Öhlins TTX 36 Club Sport dampers for your Audi R8. If you're serious about performance and want to feel every curve of the road, these dampers are a game changer. They’re not just any dampers; they’re derived from the same tech that goes into GT3 racing shock absorbers. That means you’re getting a taste of the track right on the streets.
With a targeted ride height reduction of about 15mm, your R8 will sit just right—lowering the center of gravity for better handling without sacrificing comfort. The front spring rate is set at 120 N/mm, while the rear spring rate is a beefy 200 N/mm. This setup not only enhances stability but also gives you that planted feel when you hit the gas.
Now, if you’re like me and love to tweak things to perfection, you’ll appreciate the 2-way adjustable function. You can dial in the rebound and compression settings independently, so whether you're hitting the track or just enjoying a spirited drive, you can customize how your R8 handles. And if you’re really looking to push it, there’s an option to upgrade to three or four-way adjustability. Talk about fine-tuning!
Just a heads up, if your R8 has the factory active dampers, you'll need the cancellation kit since this system won’t work with the OE setup. Also, keep in mind that it doesn’t play nice with the factory lift system, so if that’s a must-have for you, this might not be the route to take.
In terms of fitment, these dampers are designed for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991) from 2012-2019. Specifically, they fit:
So, if you’re ready to take your driving experience to the next level, the Öhlins TTX 36 Club Sport dampers are worth considering. They’re built for those who don’t just want to drive but want to own the road. See you out there!
