DRC or NO-DRC?

**CanuckRS** · 11-19-2022 09:37 AM

I have found a few vehicles for sale but they have drc.
I tried it on the C7 RS7 once and the ride was pretty darn harsh even in comfort mode.
Any opinions, ideally from someone who has it on their vehicle?
thanks

I know you are looking for DRC opinions but here's pro Air which you probably don't want to hear

I had first had air on my Macan GTS I was amazed by ride quality. My SQ5 doesn't and I immediately noticed the difference. Now I'm back on air and the ride in the RS6 on 22s is better than in the SQ5.

I had DRC in a C7 RS7 and now have Air in my C8 RS7, and the air in the C8 is as good as the DRC in the older one - no pitch when cornering hard, yet so much more pliable on normal roads. The DRC in Dynamic mode I felt like my fillings were going to be shaken out it was so bouncy. I don't see the point of DRC in the RS6/7 when the air is so good, its not like these are track cars as they're boats, and that is where DRC would actually be of benefit.

Thanks, that just confirmed my decision to stay far away from DRC.

Had air on my S7 and was way too soft. Don't find the DRC on my RS6 harsh at all. Extremely comfortable at 90 as well. Hopefully less issues as well.

I went DRC and am generally pleased. Wish it was a bit stiffer, couldnt imagine this car any softer.

Agreed on this. Performance wagon - don't expect (or want) a plush ride

I'm in the wanted DRC but went with air since DRC was dropped on 21s camp. The air is really good... far better than I expected. Folks hoping the DRC is cheaper to maintain may not get their wish if posts in other threads regarding similar systems are true. Some folks have paid less in maintaining air vs a DRC style setup.

Ultimately make the choice you feel is best for you. I doubt either option will leave anyone with buyer's remorse.

I think this comes down to personal preference. DRC can get stiffer and be driven harder. Air is plush. It’s like a pillow top mattress vs memory foam. I can’t understand why someone would buy a super wagon and soften it up but it’s your money at the end of the day.
