RS6 on Air Suspension

[morski]

How does it drive? As i understand the RS6 air suspension is different to other 4G air suspension. Classed as 'Sports' air suspension.
Is it lower than a standard 4G air suspension chassis? Hows the handling- sporty yet comfortable?

Having had experience of both, current ride is a Dec 2017 on air, 2nd RS6 - I prefer the ride on air rather than DRC - smoother, slightly softer, suits the character of the car better - only slight criticism is that car looks a little higher than the one I had with DRC - whichever way you go, you won't be disappointed - both types are weapons and devastatingly effective at tearing up the tarmac

I think he wants to compare A6 on air against an RS6 on air rather than an RS6 on air and springs. I agree about the RS6 being better on springs but just as many people on here will say air is fine. However I've never driven an A6.

I've not driven one either.....I'm no help in that case lol - will go back to the fridge and find another beer .

I know about the RS6 on DRC but as long as air on the RS6 is 'good' Reason i asked about the A6 on air vs RS6 on air was RS6 sorts air suspension. Its different part nos so there must be something about it.

I’ve got air, and I love it.

Had an RS4 B8 with DRC before, and whilst it was great when pushing on, I spend most of my time in comfort.

I also wanted the ability to be able to raise and lower the height of the car at will, so added the CETE module which I also love.

I can raise it whenever I want from within the MMI and lower it when I’m in the mood!

I've got air with Cete module too - brilliant set up as you set ride height by driving mode to mm perfection for you. So I have Dynamic set very low with 20mm rear and 15mm front spacers and it drives great - though I'm sure a good coil over set up would be more 'sporty' but this is perfect for the 25k miles I do each year.

Thanks, If audi have deemed air suspension good enough for the RS6 albeit it being different from standard air. The Cete module is brilliant; I've seen it work but its damn expensive.

[RS4Guy]

Where can I get a Cete module as the RS6 always feels high up? I feel like I'm up there with the small SUV crowd - only much faster.

Hope I’m not breaking any forum rules by posting this link if so apologies - buy module direct from manufacturer https://www.active-sound.eu/en/index

I believe Milltek rebadge the same module and sell over here - in case you prefer a UK contact/warranty etc. Think there is a price premium though.

Edit: they do, part number is SSXAU672
