We explore the best modifications for your Audi R8 4S (Gen 2) and 4S Facelift to extract the most from this iconic V10 supercar. To do this special car justice, we built our own Audi R8 4S Facelift RWD using only the very best styling and performance modifications.

Why trust us?

AUTOID stand by selling strictly premium products we would purchase for ourselves.

We've built our own AUDI R8 RWS 4S Facelift and documented the journey.

We've been supplying and fitting premium modifications for our customers for 10 years.

1. STYLING - TRE CARBON FIBRE KIT

The TRE carbon fibre kit is designed to enhance the aerodynamics and aesthetics of the Audi R8 4S Facelift. Featuring a front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser and rear wing which generates up to 48KG of downforce. Moulded from pre-preg carbon fibre for ultimate strength and optimal weight, this kit comes with a 3 year warranty on any manufacturing defects.

2. WHEELS - 2FORGE ZF8-R

Crafted from high-strength, lightweight forged aluminium, the ZF8-R wheels deliver the perfect balance for serious driving enthusiasts. This advanced construction results in exceptional weight reduction (as low as 7kg per wheel) for superior handling and responsiveness of your Audi R8 4S Facelift.


3. EXHAUST - MILLTEK CAT-BACK SYSTEM

We fitted our Audi R8 4S with Milltek Sport Catback Exhaust System. Crafted to elevate performance and sound, this exhaust system promises a thrilling driving experience by unshackling the full potential of your R8's V10 engine.

This exhaust system upgrade was one of the most impactful and transformative modifications for the R8. Being able to hear that raw V10 howl is an essential for any Audi R8 4S owner.

4. TRE PADDLES

The TRE paddle shifters replace the original plastic OEM paddles with a magnetic click system which improves feedback for snappier, crisper shifts.


The TRE magnetic shift paddles give you the option to choose between an OEM paddle or extended paddle style produced from pre-preg carbon fibre.


This is another essential modification for the Audi R8 4S.

5. EIBACH LOWERING SPRINGS

The Eibach Pro-Kit is the perfect solution for Audi R8 4S owners looking to enhance both the performance and appearance of their Audi. These performance springs are engineered to lower the R8's centre of gravity, which translates to improved handling and a more aggressive stance. With a subtle drop of 20mm in the front and 15mm in the rear, the Pro-Kit reduces squat during acceleration, body roll in corners, and nosedive under braking. The progressive spring design ensures a comfortable ride while delivering sporty handling. 


Note: The Eibach Pro-Kit is compatible with vehicles equipped with magnetic ride.
