I had the same issues with DRC years ago. My original was still working (I would have preferred a little lower ride height) but Audi did the recall and I thought, hey new and better DRC, maybe it will keep me from going aftermarket. I take it in for the recall and it comes out sitting a little higher in front and way higher in the rear. Took it back to the dealer and it was a little better but still not right. They obviously didn't know what to do. I took it home and within a week ripped out the DRC and installed KWV3's. The KW's are pricey but they are great, reliable, Lifetime warranty, Mx free, fully adjustable. I weighed the original DRC, lines, valves. I think the KW's came out around 20lbs lighter overall. I pulled out the cross lines too.
