Happy New Year everyone. Got working drc from everyones favourite Audi dealer and wondered if anyone else with DRC had put on the Hotchkiss arbs. Looking for feedback on this set up. Thanks

I've fitted a few set to cars with drc .. They are designed to work with drc ..

I belive they help reduce the load on the system as wel as reduce body roll.

Grizz fitted new Hotchkiss ARBs to my fully working 3rd generation DRC and the improvement in handling is superb - less body roll and no secondary steering corrections needed when cornering as the body weight/inertia comes in to play.

Just get them done you won't regret it !!!

Yep me too... fitted by Grizz.

Really dials out the body roll and car feels very secure through twity bits.

Also went with the softer rear setting and it's fine. I suspect the harder one would actually start to give too much oversteer on slippery stuff - but haven't tried it!!

Weell worth doing
