I've searched/read enough to know that DRC leaks are the major reliability issue with this car. What exactly is the component that leaks? A fluid filled shock? Sway? Mount?

Can the system be swapped out for a traditional Spring/Shock/Sway combination? What's a good choice?

How much would it cost?

Any salvage value to the stock suspension if it's in good condition.

The leak can occur anywhere in the system.

The weakest link is the SEAL between the tubing at the SHOCKS and the tubing that runs to the Central Valve.

This seal is ALUMINUM while the tubing is steel. This creates a dielectric current which coroids the aluminum seal....thus it leaks. This happens in all climates and is not due to "Road Salt".

STasis Engineering is having 15% discount on their suspension upgrade until XMas. If anyone is interested, now is a good time to get it, and simply swap it out later.

I don't mean to advertise, however since it is a good deal on what we most choose to put on the car after DRC, seems like a good discount.
