Audi A5 Avant B10 / FU5.
The coilover guide.
Shop the coiloversKeep the Avant ready for the journeys you bought it for. Match the front-wheel-drive application, identify the factory suspension, then choose a height that leaves room for passengers, luggage and the wheels to move.
The 2024 A5 Avant.
The new Avant has a long roof and a low window line that suit a measured drop and a clean wheel design. Give the tyre as much thought as the wheel: width, offset and sidewall shape all affect the clearance once the car is carrying its normal load.
BC Racing S-69 is listed for the B10/FU5 Avant with front-wheel drive and a 53 mm front-unit specification. Check those details first. The broader A5 family includes different bodies, powertrains and factory damping systems.
Audi introduced this new A5 family in July 2024, moving the successor to the A4 into the A5 range. Sedan and Avant were the first models on its Premium Platform Combustion. This estate belongs to a different generation from the earlier A5 Coupé and Sportback.
The Avant keeps the estate format with a long cargo roof, a raked rear window and a roof spoiler. The full-width rear light strip and slim front lights make it easy to recognise. Neither the styling nor a shared A5 badge establishes which suspension kit fits.
Audi gave the chassis a five-link layout at each end and revised the steering and suspension mounting arrangements. Its original steel-spring specification was joined by sport suspension and an electronically controlled alternative. Those factory choices matter when discussing a replacement.
A useful road setup has to work on the weekday journey as well as in a photograph. Decide what the car normally carries, choose the wheel and tyre specification, then discuss the height. A loaded estate needs clearance through suspension movement, not just an attractive gap while parked.

Avant, FWD, 53 mm
BC S-69 names the 2024-on B10/FU5 Avant with front-wheel drive and a 53 mm front-unit reference. Confirm the car’s engine, permitted axle loads and original damping equipment against the complete current application before ordering.
View the listed reference
Quattro and S5: check separately
The listed S-69 application says FWD. It does not establish approval for quattro or the S5 Avant. Supply the exact model and equipment in an enquiry so a suitable reference can be checked rather than substituting the FWD kit.
Ask about your drivetrain
Identify the factory damping
The B10 was offered with conventional steel suspension, sport suspension and electronic damper control. Find the actual equipment details for your car. S-69’s application row does not explain an electronic replacement or cancellation plan.
Discuss the original suspension
Other bodies and altered cars
The S-69 row explicitly names the Avant. A Sedan, plug-in hybrid, suspension conversion or car with changed arms needs its own application check. Include the body, powertrain and previous modifications; a common platform is not approval.
Discuss the exact buildWhat do you want
from the car?
Road miles, circuit weekends or a car built around the lap. Start with how you drive.
Keep the estate usable with its normal passengers and luggage.
Read the buying advice
BC Racing BR-RS S-69 is the current reference for a matching front-wheel-drive Avant. The published configuration uses rubber top mounts and records nominal spring rates of 9 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear. Confirm the complete application, supplied rear components and adjustment instructions before choosing the height.
- Confirm FWD, Avant body and the 53 mm reference
- Identify the original damping equipment
- Check clearance with the usual load
Discuss the complete use before changing the suspension specification.
Read the buying advice
Describe the tyres, brakes, car weight and planned events before choosing a track-day setup. Confirm suitability for the intended circuit and modifications with the team preparing the car. Agree the specification and fitting checks while keeping the road journey usable.
- Explain the intended events and tyre choice
- Agree the required suspension specification
- Record the road setup before testing changes
Choose the hardware around the build and its requirements.
Read the buying advice
A developed circuit car needs its weight, tyres, aero, mounting hardware and available suspension movement considered together. Provide those details before ordering. Agree the spring and damper specification with the team preparing that car.
- Describe weight changes, tyres and event use
- Agree mounts, movement and damping requirements
- Plan measured setup and regular inspection
A separate spring on a five-link rear axle.
On a standard Audi A5 Avant B10, the rear spring and damper are mounted separately.
Component layout only. Mounts, dimensions and adjusters vary by kit.The factory rear coil spring sits on its own seat on the lower suspension arm, beside the damper. Audi’s type-FU technical drawing shows this arrangement on the front-wheel-drive rear axle. It is an independent five-link design.
Specify the replacement spring seats, rear dampers and mounts for that arrangement. Follow the exact kit’s instructions for height and preload; the rear is not one combined coilover strut to be adjusted in the same way as the front. A shared axle concept does not make older Audi kits interchangeable.
Read about spring seats and ride height
Plan the clearance with the car loaded.
Give the fitter the wheel width, offset, tyre dimensions and any spacer thickness. Assess the inner gap to the suspension and the tyre’s path beneath the arch through steering and suspension movement. Include the load the car normally carries.
Inspect mounting parts, joints, bushes and spring seats before fitting. Agree any factory damping-control work in advance. Set the final height before alignment, then complete the checks required for affected lighting and driver-assistance systems.
Find the original suspension specification
Audi’s type-FU material identifies 1BA conventional suspension, 1BE sport suspension and 1BQ electronic damping. In that original specification, 1BE and 1BQ sit 20 mm below 1BA. Confirm what is actually fitted before interpreting a lowering figure.
Choose wheels and tyres before the final height
A wider wheel, a different offset or a spacer can change clearance on either side of the tyre. Keep the full specification with the fitting plan. Recheck the gaps after a wheel or tyre change, even if the suspension setting stays the same.
Agree the electronic work first
An adaptive factory damper is part of the car’s control system. The listed kit row does not establish retained electronic adjustment or describe cancellation hardware. Identify the original equipment and agree an exact replacement plan before ordering.
Finish the setup after installation
Use the supplied instructions to set and settle the suspension, then check loaded clearance and alignment. Keep a record of the settings and fitted parts. Follow the kit’s inspection requirements and review the setup after later changes.
The current A5 Avant B10 / FU5 range.
See the controls and hardware in the listed kit.
S-69 is the currently listed BR-RS reference. BC’s application catalogue names A5 Avant, B10/FU5, 2024-on, FWD and 53 mm. The native configuration records rubber mounts and nominal 9/10 kg/mm springs. Confirm the exact supplied components and original-equipment conditions; the application table is not a universal approval for all B10 variants.

Questions about Audi A5 Avant B10 / FU5 coilovers.
Check the details before choosing your kit.
Is the B10 Avant the same car as the earlier A5 Sportback?
No. Audi introduced this new PPC-based Sedan and Avant family in 2024 as the successor to the A4 range. The earlier F5 A5 Coupé and Sportback have their own applications. Use the B10/FU5 body and complete vehicle details when checking a kit.
Which coilover reference is currently listed for this Avant?
The current listing is BC Racing BCR-S-69 in BR-RS configuration. BC’s application row names the 2024-on A5 Avant B10/FU5, front-wheel drive and a 53 mm front-unit specification. Confirm the engine, permitted loads and original equipment before ordering.
Does S-69 also fit quattro or the S5 Avant?
The retained S-69 application explicitly says FWD. It does not establish quattro or S5 fitment. Those cars need an individually confirmed application; do not substitute the FWD reference because the body looks similar.
Are the B10 rear spring and damper separate?
Yes. Audi’s front-wheel-drive rear-axle drawing places the coil spring on its own seat on the lower arm beside a separate damper. The axle is an independent five-link design. Confirm the replacement spring seats, dampers and mounts supplied for the exact kit.
Does every B10 Avant start at the same factory ride height?
No. Audi’s original type-FU specification lists 1BA conventional suspension, 1BE sport suspension and 1BQ electronic damping. The sport version is 20 mm lower than 1BA, and 1BQ has the same height as 1BE. Confirm the actual car’s equipment and the kit’s measurement baseline.
Will the factory adaptive damping controls still work?
That needs an exact replacement plan. S-69’s application row does not promise retained adaptive control or specify cancellation hardware. Identify the factory suspension and confirm the components and electronic work before ordering.
What are the listed spring rates and top mounts?
The published BR-RS configuration records rubber top mounts and nominal spring rates of 9 kg/mm front and 10 kg/mm rear. Confirm the supplied specification when ordering. Those figures alone do not establish ideal settings, a change in balance or suitability for a particular track build.
How low should a road-driven Avant be set?
Choose a usable height within the exact kit’s instructions after checking tyre clearance, suspension movement and the normal passenger and luggage load. Agree the setting with the fitter, finish the alignment and keep the required lighting and driver-assistance checks in the plan.
Let’s talk suspension.
Find your Avant, then include its engine, driven wheels, permitted axle loads and factory suspension details. Add the wheel and tyre specification and any previous changes so the exact application can be checked.
