Any updates on loading the pix? How about the ride after a few months with the H&Rs?
I'm considering doing this. I can't deal with the looks of my RS6/Allroad hybrid.


My SA spoke with the tech, who did the correct procedure for suspension setup that we've beat to death in other threads. He said that while it's not strictly a requirement to load the car, then torque everything down, who would do otherwise? (I like this guy!) He said maybe if someone were in a rush or something...

He also suggested letting it settle a bit more (2K miles), and if it didn't settle down, we could talk about it. I'm going to do that since it did settle a little just on the ride home, but hasn't really budged since.

These springs seem like a cost effective way to get my car to pre-DRC "fix" stock height again. I'm waiting to get an estimate just to replace the springs. I can't see how on earth it could be 18hrs labor. If it's only 4-6 hrs maybe I'll do it to tide me over until I get KWs.

Anyway,
Audi/KYB MUST have known that the new DRC raises the ride height of the car by a lot. I'm sure they put a lot of work into engineering a fix. It does ride better (stiffer and more "planted"). But why, oh why, would they raise the height?
Just tell me, Audi! I'm reasonable, I can handle it. Just need a reason...
