Do I Keep DRC or replace it with something else?

Post by **RS6Steve** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 9:11 am

Just picked up my RS6 and a week later the DRC sounds like it's on its way out! DOH... Not that bothered as I was kind of expecting it a sometime. It's going back to the garage to get sorted, but I have a feeling it will break again soon?!?!?!

Shall I replace it with something completely different? With What?

Well so far noone with the latest DRC replacement has had it fail!! (looking for wood to touch quickly)

plenty of time for that , H&R's and ARB's if you dont mind a firm ride and like cornering on rails

I binned my DRC four weeks ago in favour of a H and R kiy fitted by Grizz at unit 20.
I personally do not find it a harsh ride at all and love the way she handles now.
Sits ever so slightly lower which i think compliments the cars wider arches.
IMO an H and R kit is the way forward

DRC is pretty hard anyway, can't be much harder?

H&R is the way im tthinking of going.

Bin the DRC! I have the KW v3s and they are superb but the H&Rs are great value.

It all depends on what you can get the dealer to do. If it came from Audi I would insist they replace DRC (or return the car and give you your money back as it is clearly not in a roadworthy condition. The new DRC seems to be a lot more reliable, though a lot depends on the competence of the dealer fitting it. Camberley are ace, others (eg Bristol) have been a disaster for some.

However if you are going to have to pay for the repairs yourself then H&R's are the cheapest (KW's and PSS9's are a bit more).

At this stage I'd lean on the dealer to sort properly

I'm just awaiting a call back for a date to get it in.

I seem to be reading a lot about people getting it done every 18months or so? Is this really the case....

Why no Audi recall!!!

What roughly should it cost for a set of H&R's?

Post by **RS6Steve** » Thu Oct 22, 2009 3:37 pm

About £1500 fitted I think

I'd better start saving up then! - who's best to do it in the South East?

I had bilstein pss9's fitted by QST in haywards heath...

I had FK's Konigsport installed on mine which use Koni adjustable damper inserts.
Far better ride than the harsh H&R's
Plus they have damping adjustability
And for almost half the cost

I don't really want it lowered much...

Is it possible to almost keep the same ride height?

FK Konigsport south quite good?!?!?!

That was my issue - I didn't want to lower. I got the PSS9's and adjusted them as high as possible. I'm pretty close to stock height, I think.
