Converting from air ride to DRC/Coilovers

Post by carphreak » Sun Mar 12, 2023 8:07 am

Hi guys, recently picked up a C8 RS6, it came with the air ride suspension. Had a go in a friends with DRC and preferred it strongly for my use case, as I spend a lot of time on backroads. How hard would it be to convert from the Air to DRC or possibly even KW V4 with HLS4? Would it need coding, different hardware, etc. Thanks in advance.

Initial thoughts are it would be £££££££££££, coming to sell it might also be tougher,
Probably better value to trade it in for a DRC one

Gotcha, but it’s doable I’m assuming? KW V4 + HLS4 come to over 10k USD anyways so not very cheap haha
