When my rear shocks went the failure manifested itself more along the lines of overly low ride height at the rear and very bumpy ride. Pretty much what one would expect from rear shocks letting go on any car really. My car has the SS+ kit fitted, and I opted to retain the DRC - expensive though it w...

I know you said "besides MRC" but..


MRC!

sorry!

I recently had both rear shocks replaced so that i could retain the DRC on my 07 saloon. Not sure if it will really affect resale value, but I've had several cars with (very) expensive coil overs in the past and they never really made driving more enjoyable - bearing in mind I live in London, which ...

mine had an mrc stage 2 with miltek exhaust when i bought it.
as i live in london i rarely drive it in sports mode tbh, but having driven a few standard cars when i was looking for mine there's definitely a marked difference.

Ignore me! Found it.. I have SS+ - 2ME option code i believe.

Mornign folks.

is there an easy way to tell if a can has SS or SS+ suspension?

thanks,

Mark.

Thanks for the replies. Am getting more and more convinced to keep the DRC as the curent problem is with both rear shocks rather than the DRC system, itself, if you see what I mean. Obviously that doesn't prevent the DRC system failing catastrophically in the future, but I guess that's something I a...

Thanks all. Still not spoken to MRC and am now seriously thinking about retaining the DRC, which is where i started out prior to starting this thread! I guess if I could be certain that the rest of the DRC system wouldn't fail once the immediate repairs had been done I'd feel much more comfortable, ...

Could you be more specific about which Koni shocks exactly please?

Thanks.

lovely car.. but ££££££

Hi folks. Having mulled it over for quite a while, I am now more convinced that ditching the DRC for coilovers is probably the way to go on my car. Will either be KW v3 or Bilstein - depending on the outcome of a conversation I will be having with MRC next week sometime. Whilst I will definitely be ...

washed it, put some fuel in it, and now trying to finally make my mind up about retaining DRC or switching to coilovers!

i sympathise. I've got a different issue with my rs4 bucket seats which doesn't seem to have been discussed much on the forum!
sorry to not be any help but I feel for you!

Hi Mark, There are a few factors to consider when trying to answer your question. Why have you been advised that the rear shocks need replacing? internal failure on both rear shocks Have the shocks failed completely eg. Burst seal, loss of substantial amount of oil, total loss of pressure and heavy...

Thanks both. (Especially to @CRS3 for such a comprehensive answer!)
