There's a guy who's a regular customer in my local porsche centre who frequently orders 5 or 6 of the same car in a variety of colours/specs and then picks his favoirite and forfeits his deposit/cancellation fee on the others

The Audi speccing guy must wait longer on his lead time than he keeps the cars for, so in theory must have a few on order at any one time

I've been looking at suspension options too, spoke to KW regarding the DDC OEM switchable kit for the RS4, this was their response:

Our product manager has responded regarding our DDC products for your RS4.

He says part number 39010024 was tested and worked well. At the moment he is saying they have not had any demand for the DDC product for the car that’s why there is currently no specific listing, all the demand was for the height adjustable spring kit, part number 2531000H £499.00

So the DDC kit is the DDC ECU so you will lose all Audi electronics and have to put our control button in the car. You will also need the DRC shut down kit so the Audi ECU recognises the original dampers are still installed. You can also opt for the Wifi module so the system can work with smart phones and tablets etc. List of part numbers below.

39010024 £2586.00 DDC ECU.
68510358 £362.00 KW Shut down kit.
68510276 £270.00 KW Wifi module.


I've used the adjustable springs on my S5 and they work fine. However, I couldn't decide...so I ordered a Milltek non res instead. :thumbs:

Hi thanks for the further updates. Yes would love to attend the next meet you guys have on. Never thought of how it would affect the lane assist etc... It has all those options. Beginning to think this might not be worth doing for now :-(

The sand leather is ok but boy is it hight maintenance I have to use a leather cleaner on it every week where my works suits and jeans discolour it.

Thanks, The Leon Cupra R/1M are one of the most enjoyable daily's I have owned! Cars are becoming too expensive and too complicated these days, and missing the raw basics. The most disappointing was the RS3 :-(

Liking the RS4, but the Geo setup isnt quite right nor the ride. wont take too much to get it right, by the way is it true on average it consumes 1 litre of oil per 5000 miles?

Love the colour combo on that and the extras, makes it a real exclusive RS4.
Anymore pics of it in the sunshine please?
