THey certainly perform much better than a broken DRC which is what you appear to have. I've never experienced a working DRC so I can't compare.

Nice, they should be arriving mid next week and should have them on a few days later. I'm going to change the top mounts while everything it out, anything else I should conside?

I see in the sticky it talks about rubber bits, as well at top mounts and shows a pic. What are they?

My broken DRC bounce's around like a whale and makes funny noices, knocking and squeaking as you drive along........

Nearly lost the rear end on a corner the other day at 40 when my van can go round it at 60.............

THose are the front and rear top mounts. The rubber bits are the rear ones.

OK, had them fitted now, did not do it myself as it would not stop raining......

My DRC was shot!!! The reason it was not leaking, it was empty...... Who knows how long its been like that. Live driving a Tanker....

Had every thing replaced. Top mounts and upper arms all round.

My god how different it drives, I actually trust it now :-)

The ride is Perfect, thanks Shoppinit for the advice.

It's slightly lower at the minute than I had expected but the garage set it up and did a good job. They said they would make it higher if I wanted it, decided to take it for a week and see how I get on... Looks and feels real different to the Crap DRC!

nice one :thumbs: It's like night and day and you scrap the DRC. I was so pleased with mine I could have cried. Up to that point I was fantasising about M3s and RS4s because the 6 was just plain unpleasant to drive. Loving it now though :) Might still get an M3 or RS4 anyway "for the missus" :d

Might I suggest Hotchkis ARBs also? I'm convinced this is why mine is place-able on the road for such a big heavy car.

Will be going for the ARBS, but want to take it to Grizz. Have a health check, ARB's and a Remap.

But before that, fix the rear washer jet, will order the bits tomorrow.

New boots all round with New TPMS (Vagcom indicates low voltage signal) falt batteries.

Oh and a good Detail also needs to be done........

Need to work to pay for it all.......
