DRC vs Air practicality and reliability

Post by ConanBarbarian » Fri Jan 05, 2024 12:01 pm

I am facing a dilemma choosing between Air and DRC for an otherwise similar spec 2017 RS6 perf. Both cars have done ~90k-100k km.
I have seen quite a few opinions on suspension preferences, so my intent is to not start another discussion.
I have 2 very specific questions:
1) how much (if any) lower the DRC-equipped car will be compared to Air in DYNAMIC mode? There is an article for C8 RS7 talking about 4 mm difference, but nothing for C7 RS7/RS6.
2) given the high mileage, which suspension setup is likely to give me more problems, i.e., potential cost of repairs?

I have yet to see a thread on here by someone having problems with the air suspension system. However, threads on DRC issues...!

Here in The Netherlands it is almost impossible to find an Air car.... seems like 95% of C7 RS6's have DRC equipped.......
