I am continuing to have problems with the DRC. Is there someone in the North or in Scotland who has experience in fitting the bilstein pss9 coilovers?

Is that all you have to do to replace the DRC? Do you not lose the anti-roll benefit? Are there any other alternatives?

I believe that PhilT on here has the KW, v3 fitted to his car

I'm nr Liverpool , if you want to come down this far you can have ago . If you like it i can supply and fit it . g

Recent feature in Audi Driver magazine ( I wrote it about TT Shop replacing the DRC on its RS6 with Bilstein PSS9 kit

Is that in the October issue?

i'm also thinking of replacing the DRC with bilstein or kw, but just wanted to know if you take off the (air/oil) tanks, when you fit the coilovers. i don't have a problem with them yet, but willing to do the job for safety and comfort of mind. DR b, if you do find anyone in the north of scotland to do the job , let me know. Or i might give it a go myself (engineer by trade).

Aberdeen Volkswagen Centre agreed to do the work. (I spoke to Neil - 6 hours labour £300). They were thinking of the Bilsteins over the KWs. Star Performance would also have done it but Jim preferred the KWs.
In the end I have managed to get Audi Customer services to cough up 40% of the overall costs + warranty direct, so I am having the DRC fixed. (After, it will have a 2 year warranty on its parts). It didn't make finacial sense to pay £1600 to change the DRC to aftermarket suspension. (At the moment anyway!)

Good thinking my good man, i'm still in 2 minds tho, of which set to go for, just in the long run, i also need front disc's... ouch

Me too. It's a good setup. You can leave the central valves on if you want, doesn't really save much weight.
