Air Suspension retrofit?

Post by Paul T. » Mon Feb 10, 2020 1:24 am

Hi Guys & Girls,

My first post, so be as rough as you like.

I have a 2014 RS6 Avant.
It doesn't have adaptive air suspension, but I would like to have it! (My BiTDi has it and I like it).

Can I have the OEM kit installed and control through drive select?

TIA.

Paul.

Yes it can be done as long as you can or have someone who will do it for you as it involves replacing all shocks, springs, wiring and coding etc.I have a full complete set from an RS6 that i was going to install on mine but plan to change my car now... let me know

Many thanks for the reply.

I suppose the first things are:

Do you everything required - shocks, springs wiring etc. etc.?
How much would your kit cost and what is mileage and year of manufacture?
What is the anticipated installation time?

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn’t be cheaper and easier to sell a car with DRC and buy one with air?

Quite possibly, Doodlebug.

The car is on 21's at the moment and in comfort mode, the ride is ok.
However, I do want to have 22's and I can't see that being much fun ride-wise without air suspension.

Thanks

I have everything you would need to install this as a retrofit: front shocks, rear shocks, compressor, control unit, wiring, air lines, wheel sensors etc
Shocks are from an early 2016 car iirc they still have the date stamp of 43/15 is still on them.
Install time depends on how quick they are. Can be a 2-4 days i guessing. Fair bit of work..
i'll pm you
