Looks like DRC died...

Post by TimDogg » Wed Jun 21, 2017 11:24 am

Guys, looks like the DRC finally died last night. My original intent was to replace it fully but the cost is too much. What is the preferred option for a non - track car (might do Nordschleife once a year).

Bilstein B14, B16 or KW V3s?

I'd like the front ride height to mirror the back but don't feel that I'll play around with damping etc.

Thx guys.

(There must be a better way of attaching a picture than having to upload it to a server!??!)

adding photos to this site is frankly <beep> - jesus it is 2017 right?

Anyway link to my flickr account - you'll see ride height etc on there. Only issue is I get occasional rub on full lock going over a bump, oh and have to be very very careful over sleeping policeman with the front splitter.

In Flickr, to the right of your image. You will find 4 icons, click the arrow looking 3rd one (share) and this will load up another page, click the BB code tab and then paste that into the reply box on this forum. Job done.

Try putting IMG in front / behind of the link. So Image

Although that only seems to work for Photobucket ?

yup did that - and get a little box that appears saying "image"rather than displaying said 'image'................just like yours does above. :?

EDIT: first 'image' appears as a box with image written in it, as does second image (on my surface pro) BUT when I view on the iphone the first image still is the little box, but the second one is the picture....WTF?????
