How does it drive? As i understand the RS6 air suspension is different to other 4G air suspension. Classed as 'Sports' air suspension.
Is it lower than a standard 4G air suspension chassis? Hows the handling- sporty yet comfortable?

Having had experience of both, current ride is a Dec 2017 on air, 2nd RS6 - I prefer the ride on air rather than DRC - smoother, slightly softer, suits the character of the car better - only slight criticism is that car looks a little higher than the one I had with DRC - whichever way you go, you won't be disappointed - both types are weapons and devastatingly effective at tearing up the tarmac

I think he wants to compare A6 on air against an RS6 on air rather than an RS6 on air and springs. I agree about the RS6 being better on springs but just as many people on here will say air is fine. However I've never driven an A6.

I know about the RS6 on DRC but as long as air on the RS6 is 'good' Reason i asked about the A6 on air vs RS6 on air was RS6 sorts air suspension. Its different part nos so there must be something about it.

I’ve got air, and I love it.
Had an RS4 B8 with DRC before, and whilst it was great when pushing on, I spend most of my time in comfort.
I also wanted the ability to be able to raise and lower the height of the car at will, so added the CETE module which I also love.
I can raise it whenever I want from within the MMI and lower it when I’m in the mood!

I've got air with Cete module too - brilliant set up as you set ride height by driving mode to mm perfection for you. So I have Dynamic set very low with 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers and it drives great - though I'm sure a good coil over set up would be more 'sporty' but this is perfect for the 25k miles I do each year.

Thanks, If audi have deemed air suspension good enough for the RS6 albeit it being different from standard air. The Cete module is brilliant; I've seen it work but its damn expensive.

Where can I get a Cete module as the RS6 always feels high up? I feel like I'm up there with the small SUV crowd - only much faster.

Hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by posting this link if so apologies - buy module direct from manufacturer

I believe Milltek rebadge the same module and sell over here - in case you prefer a UK contact/warranty etc. Think there is a price premium though.
Edit: they do, part number is SSXAU672
