I'm a none Audi owner and find this video a great insight to how the suspension system works on the RS4. It's really nice seeing the owner also wanting it to stay standard.

I too have an original B7 RS4 Avant (Deep Green) and when i bought it 18 months ago I knew the DRC lines were rusty so i elected to have them swapped out, fortunately all my shocks were dry, however once I see them weeping I will change them out too and will do all 4. I really do love to see the oriniginality in these cars. The DRC ride when the system is pumped up and working correcly is better than any coil-over system, no body roll on cornering, no squatting on acceleration either, its a lovely ride. Keep the great videos coming. I see you have an RS2 in the background, i owned 2 of them at the same time, lovely machines and fairly easy to maintain too. I had a full underneath restoration done on one of mine, cost a fortune but well worth doing, RS2s are reknown for looking fantastic on top but rotten as a pear underneath. Ive just subscribed to your channel and hope theres loads of good RS4 and RS2 content.

Omg kw v3 coil overs are absolutely 💯 % mind boggling !!!! So impressed how it has transformed the rs4 couldn't be happier ❤!!!

Nice job! Love how DRC works. I was afraid of maintenance price at first, but than I find out that each shock could be rebuilt for $100 in my country. 3 years passed, still no leaks 😊

Another great video!! So well explained how the DRC works. RS4 B7 one of the best engine's ever build!!👌

So unusual to see an original DRC chassis RS4 👌🏻

Great job . I went Coilovers a few years ago because of leaky rear shocks

[jasperpearce]

Dont envy u! I done a few of these too and they are a pig. Charge machine is fun too airline to vacuum and a handpump to refill. Nipples always snap too. Fair play to u guys for taking on anything no matter how fiddly👍💪

You must absolutely love customers like the owner of this one, not arguing about the cost of parts or trying to have you fit cheaper options or scrapyard rubbish 😅 im the same on a cheaper scale with my cars, a mechanic friend of mine looks after my vehicles and if he finds things along the way, he just does them as he knows ill want something fixing if its broken, and wont quote me crap parts as theres no point fitting them 👌

Bought the last production year ( 2015 ) RS4 assuming they had sorted DRC by then. WRONG ! One shock while in warranty then another went out of warranty.Replaced with KW3 coil-overs and holy crap batman ! Wish I’d done it years ago. No I cant change from ( too ) soft to ( far too ) hard any more but don’t miss it because never did it much any way.These coil overs wipe the floor with DRC, no comparison. If you have DRC whether you need replacement or not it’s worth it just for the improvement in cornering and ride.

Hi - great video - my rs4 drc front shocks are leaking, but can’t find a front left replacement (just front right). Do you know where to get one or where they can be rebuilt in the UK? Thanks

Not related to this video: From your experience what are the chances that my alternator belt tensioner is going to have not 'lost tension' when I go to reinstall it with new belt on a 2007 b7 rs4 with 173, 000 KM. Just a guess from your experiences would be helpful! Trying to avoid buying a new tensioner for now!

At 0:48, is it possible the bolts were not the issue and the swirl flap broke. I've heard that in addition to bolts backing out, the swirl flaps weaken over the years and they snap due to pressure from bolts, which is how it looks like that one broke. Only posting this for clarification as there are people I have come across who think if they put the bolts back with thread locker, they will be fine, meanwhile what they are doing can create a flap snapping doomsday...

Hey man do you know where I could possibly purchase the drc hard pipes. Thank you

What's the approx cost for new hydraulic lines and a regas from Audi minus labour?

[speedshed]

When you had the rear subframe out I’d have used a Dinitrol rust stopper and cleaned and treated the subframe prior to refitting.

[mudmucks]

Shame no footage from Audi, I wonder how many cars of that era they are asked to 're-gas'?
