    My DRC is stiff and perfect when its cold in the mornings but as I drive for awhile and the car heats up, the ride gets softer and less stiff. I attribute this to an improperly filled DRC.. They didnt do it in a room where the ambient temp was 65F or less. It was done in SoCal on a hot day with no AC in the facility.. So, the oil they use for the DRC was not as cold as it should have been.. this results in a thicker fluid when cold but it thins out when warm softening the ride..
    Since we know that nobody designs a car to have a suspension that changes its firmness as the temps rise and it didnt do this when new, its must be close to what I think is the answer.
