Hi all,

I have a standard RS4 avant, 2006, 92k miles. I think I'm starting to get the early signs of DRC issues and had oil misting on the dampers at the last MoT 6 months ago. The engine is standard and strong as an ox - post carbon-clean was measured at 410ps at 78k.

Can anyone recommend a trustworthy suspension specialist nearish to me (M11/M25) who knows the DRC system and can give me the best advice? My gut feel is that I want to keep DRC to keep the car original unless pricing is silly. I like the standard ride/handling balance and have no interest in lowering the car or making it more track-worthy than road-worthy. All that said, if the best thing to do is genuinely to replace the whole set up with K14 or similar dampers and add ARBs, that's fine.

Many thanks in advance!

Try 4Rings in Dartford, they are my local Audi Indy, and always a top service.

Could try AmD, I think they're Essex. They make fit be able to give you advice but don't think they're equipped to work with the drc, I don't think many places are. Most people just go coilovers when it fails.

4 Rings don't have the kit to work on DRC, my car needs a couple of bushes doing and they said they can't do it because they can't re-charge the DRC afterwards.

Make the trip to Camspec in Crawley, they have al the kit and were always spot on with me.
