Dilemma

Post by Coxall8395 » Mon Nov 29, 2010 11:58 pm

Four new DRC shocks with Audi Warranty? £1800

Four new Bilstein PSS9? £1800

Ride quality paramount. I thought my DRC was quite nice before it failed.
Anyone near Dartford, Kent , got a PSS9 Audi RS6 they can take me out in? Please :-)

No Dilema. PSS9's all the way.

I was undecided but the handling is soooo much better. It's like a leech.

From what I have read Audi Camberley seem more than capable of re-inventing my DRC and if it goes wrong I have two years which is about what I am looking for in this car anyway. So with the new DRC shocks going on should I get anything else done at the same time (and don't say coillies).

Thanks

The ARB's are easily replaced with the suspension in place - also doubt that Camberley (or any Audi dealer) would fit non-standard parts. It is a good upgrade to DRC though
