I’m on KW HAS on standard DRC currently but plan to go V3 soon. The KW springs are significantly better but the DRC dampers aren’t controlled enough for me. I’ll also be upgrading my ARBs to H&R to keep things nice and flat.
I’ve got to decide on whether I’ll want to run low enough that I’ll need the HLS4 lifters but I’m getting off topic now.
I don't have DRC issues at present (touch wood) but they just don't seem reliable. I've looked at the HAS kit from KW off the back of this thread and it does seem like a pretty good idea actually. Makes sense. I'd like to keep the ability to use drive select for damping but the DRC is just too pricey.
The DDC also looks pretty invasive to me and I don't fancy hacking about or having someone else cut into the ECU and wiring. Watched a fair few installs last night on this.
So, if you go KW3 with updated ARBs, you'd get the damping control cancellation kit yeah? For the stock system. Is there a sweet spot, a 'one fits all' solution, that would make ride quality comfortable yet sporty? I think body roll is the determining factor in handling/cornering for me on a big car like this. It's why I think the premise behind DRC is great. As long it's working haha.
This is a good video:

Doesn't focus on the DDC at all but has plenty to say about the KW3 improvements. I presume the H&R ARBs are gonna cancel out any body roll? Anyway, glad to know others are thinking about this. I won't be doing it until I sense initial DRC issues. Individual mode is set up for 85% of my driving. Dynamic can be used just not in a lot of situations where I live. Too skittish.
