Well, another statistic to add to the failed DRC pile... The flexi hose that feeds the hydraulic fluid into the rear O/S shock has been leaking and now I'm getting a clunk from the N/S front corner. I can replace the components myself but don't have the equipment to refill the system with hydraulic fluid. I read a thread on this forum that shows how someone has built one (Kudos that man!) but I really haven't got the time or patience to do all that with a house renovation on the go at the same time. Audi have quoted ££ to fix (I'm in the Huntingdon area in the UK so if anyone knows of a specialist that can do it cheaper, let me know!). It's a shame as I would really like to have retained the DRC but hey-ho.
So my question is this; has anyone coilover'd their C6 RS6 Avant and did it spoil the ride very much? The set I am looking at claim to be 33 way damping adjustable so I'm hoping there's some compromise I can find somewhere between the bounciness and the go-kart feel. I liked the refined, executive like performance of the car which is why I'm sad to be losing the DRC.
My experience with coilovers has been in Skylines, Supras, Evos, Subarus, etc (when I was in the trade) and they were all hideously stiff, even on the mildest setting but I'm sure things have come a long way since.
Appreciate any experiences you can share about how they are on yours
I think I'll rip the DRC off (although I will mourn it's loss 
) and replace with coilovers. It's just unsustainable and unfeasible to have to drive hundreds of miles any time there's a problem with the hydraulics... it's a 10 year old car and I have to consider these sorts of issues could occur more given the age. Putting coilovers on it will give me more control on the service-ability.
