Ok so after fed back on what is the best suspension out of rs4 b7 DRC and coilovers make and model
And don't say kw just because you have it fitted
Want honest answer thanks
When DRC is all working I think its excellent nice firm and positive fed back but I haven't drove one with coilovers
Thanks

Ps
If anyone is near midlands with coilovers and wants to show me that would be great thanks

Where are you located as I have KW V3's with HR ARB's setup and corner weighted correctly if you'd like a try. I'm in Coventry.

i had a rs4 cab with kwv3 a few years back and now i have another rs4 cab and put the bilstein b16 set up on....honestly i think bilstein are absolute <beep> for this particular car the kwv3 was so much better all round and it was on AMD essex advice to go for the bilstein as they were saying that kw quality had gone down hill should never have taken their advice as they another bunch of jokers i supplied the bilstein kit to them and they fitted as their prices are way too high for supply and fit and they dont deal with kw any more........KWV3 ALL DAY LONG...........and im in leicester visiting friends so here for a few weeks

I have tried the KW set up on my corrado and thought they were fine. Currently have C5 RS6 with pss9 and think they perform very well

I just had B14's fitted there. I've never have driven one with V3's but they are regarded as the best. I'm more than happy with the B14's, every part of my body that touches the car is being fed information about what the car is doing and I really like it :)

AMD was saying that KW have gone down hill in both quality and customer service. I don't know if that's true but they have always been good with me both in terms of doing the work right and to my satisfaction. I was not adverse to B14's so.....

You'll probably need uprated ARB's too as removing the DRC gives you more body roll at higher speeds. If you were happy with Covkiller's set up just buy everything he has. :beerchug:
