Hi noob here, looking for my first RS.
As titled, is DRC standard, if not how do you tell? Most non audi dealers play dumb and say they don't know!

...usually found fitted as part of the 'Sports Pack', rather than individually.

Ah thanks, but without driving and feeling the car do DRC type things, is there a simple way of identifying if it is fitted or not?

if you're driving in comfort mode, and then swap to dynamic on something like a country road.. you should feel a noticeable difference. there would i imagine also be a control option for it when setting up the individual settings.

If it has DRC fitted, in the Audi Drive Select there will be an option to adjust the suspension settings between Comfort / Auto / Dynamic.

Almost 3 years in and 50k miles, apart from a damper replaced at the 1st service under warranty, no DRC issues at, no knocks and all works perfectly in cold weather, hot weather, start up or after 1000 mile drive. Its part of the sports pack quite; pricey on its own but better value in the sports pack. As everyone has already said, switch between comfort and dynamic and if the suspension goes very hard the DRC is fitted, you'll notice it instantly.
Having it is a great way to have 2 cars in 1, every day in the UK on A and B roads comfort is firm enough, track or European autobahn's then dynamic is great and the car becomes a totally different animal, especially with Audi Drive Select in full dynamic.
