famous DRC information

Hi, 4 months ago I went for H&R springs, fitting by an official Audi dealer in Switzerland. Since then, leaking shocks, noises ... I am very disappointed with Audi Service
I decided to fit the KW V3 coilover kit. My feedback:
1. you just drive another car which sticks to the road, this DRC makes the ride very unprecise
2. when fitting the kit with the recommended manufacturer setting, the comfort is at least so good as the standard original suspension -> you still have room for softer or harder setting
3. the kit quality is very good
4. H&R antiroll bars must be fitted too.
Although it costs about GBP 2'000.-, I can only encourage the each RS4 driver.

Post warranty this is exacly what I'll be doing. It's a funny thing when Audi master tech's also say that a KW V3 fitted RS6 handles better than a OEM car with DRC. Even they are at a loss why Audi stuck with the system!

its a shame te DRC is flawed, as in theory should be a good bit of kit!

Genova - do you get more 'roll' in the corners with the KW V3's now the DRC is gone?

Hello Karl, no almost no additional 'roll' with the bigger H&R bars. In addition you feel the car, not like when you drive it with the DRC. Have a nice day

But what about when you didn't have the H&R bars and only the KW V3's: any additional body roll?

Are you still enjoying the KW V3 coilover's?
