Huh?
Are you trying to ask how different air is to DRC? If so, DRC is miles better. It still rolls too much but is much less boat like when turning.

Much the same ride wise, but much better in the twisty bits. My only niggle is that the DRC is noisy (currently having Audi investigate rattling/knocking over bumps at low speeds - and I am not the only one). Must have option imo after testing both suspensions back to back on crap Glos roads. I run 20 inch wheels though.

Yes, I agree, I wasn't happy with the air car I test drove. My DRC doesn't make any noise though.

I had my b8 rs4 in all the time for knocking so I hope the new one gives me a knock free experience

S7 black Edition Too big and heavy
S3 8V FL DSG 310ps, road noise is a joke

C7 RS6 Fantastic car but missed playing
GTR R35 800bhp, too extreme, crazy fast though
