Nitron elec-TRON Suspension Kit (with DSC) for Audi R8 (4S) Gen 2
Nitron elec-TRON Suspension Kit (with DSC) for Audi R8 (4S) Gen 2
Overview
The Nitron elec-TRON Coilover System combines Nitron's race-proven suspension engineering with advanced electronic damping technology to deliver exceptional ride quality, handling precision, and adaptability. Available in R1 and R3 configurations, with optional Front Axle Lift (FAL), the elec-TRON range offers everything from fully automatic electronic damping to professional-level suspension tuning.
At the heart of every elec-TRON system is Nitron's proportional solenoid valve technology, providing independent electronic damping control at each wheel. The system continuously adjusts compression and rebound damping in real time based on vehicle speed, G-forces, road conditions, and driver inputs, delivering the ideal balance of comfort, grip, and performance.

Choose Your Configuration
elec-TRON R1
The R1 is designed for drivers who want maximum performance with minimal complexity. All damping adjustments are handled electronically by the elec-TRON system, eliminating the need for manual damper adjustments while providing exceptional adaptability on both road and track.
elec-TRON R3
The R3 adds independent manual high-speed and low-speed compression adjustment for drivers seeking the highest level of suspension tuning. These manual settings establish the baseline suspension setup, while the elec-TRON system continuously fine-tunes damping in real time for optimal performance in changing conditions.
elec-TRON Technology
Every elec-TRON damper features an independent proportional solenoid valve mounted directly to the piston rod, allowing precise electronic control of both compression and rebound damping.
Key Features
- Fully independent electronic damping control at each wheel
- Controls both compression and rebound damping
- Operating range: 300–1800 mA
- Ultra-fast 6–8 millisecond response time
- Gas-pressurised monotube construction
- Precision piston rod-mounted proportional valve
The elec-TRON control system continuously adjusts damping based on:
- G-forces
- Vehicle speed
- Road surface conditions
- Driver inputs
This intelligent control improves grip, stability, ride quality, and driver confidence without requiring constant suspension adjustments.
Optional Front Axle Lift (FAL)
Available with both the R1 and R3 systems, the Nitron Front Axle Lift (FAL) provides additional ground clearance for lowered performance vehicles without compromising suspension geometry or handling.
With the push of a button, the hydraulic system raises the front suspension by approximately 25 mm, allowing you to safely clear speed bumps, steep driveways, parking ramps, and other obstacles.
FAL Features
- 25 mm lift height
- Typical lift time under 3 seconds
- 250W hydraulic pump
- Automatic shut-off function
- Illuminated in-cabin control switch
- Audible warning system
Complete kit includes:
- Hydraulic lift cylinders
- Hydraulic lines
- Hydraulic pump
- Wiring loom
- Controller
