I have a 2013 RS5 and did the same B16 and did lower and upper control arms, sways, i would say rides way better in everyway possibly so compliant and compose next brakes not sure its mine but brakes are not the best even with new pads recently.
Hey there, i got also a 2010 RS5 B8. Im thinking about swapping the Chain Tensioner, and Chains. Might aswell do the Camshaft adjustors inside the engine bay. Anything else you would advise to swap out when the engine is open already?
@Dark Session 6208 Nice car too😜 why are you thinking about replacing your chain? I would look at this Engine Mounts: (Check rubber for cracks) Catalyst: (check if it is required in your country they will fail) Injectors: (Maybe checked) Inlet Valves: (Walnut Blasting) Valves+valve springs: (check! see more and more that they want to break and the valve falls into the cylinder) Oil pump plug: Checking the plug at the oil pump (2010 model) they still wanted to come loose and as a result the engine did not get oil lubrication
Toffe video! Vraagje: ik heb een RS7 waarbij de DRC ook problemen/gerammel veroorzaakt. Hiervoor in de plaats wil ik ook een B16 set plaatsen. Moet ik naast het demonteren van de DRC schokdempers nog meer verwijderen/aanpassen/wegwerken?
@Nathan Nguyen it drives really great you can make it soft and stiff! (by hand) but I would definitely go for the drc option! drive even tighter on the road for all the bends work is great with drc
Hey man I have a 2012 RS5 and got the Bilstein B16 as well but I have a weird knock coming from one of my coils I’m not sure if its improper installation or a product defect Could you tell me your thoughts on what it might be .
Heard this also happened often on VW and BMW's. It could be both a bearing of the suspension but also a damper. There are only two ways Bilstein struts behave: 1. They go bad in the 1-6 Months 2. They last forever 😅
@alexislundmark7560 yes we have the error code! but solved in a cheap way 😅 we removed the drc regulator on shock absorber with a grinder and connected it back to the system and no more error codes

Nice job guys how many hours labour was involved? Curios thinking of getting rid my DRC also
I think it took us about 8 hours

Como le hizo para quitar testigo el fallo de la suspensión ?
how does it ride after the install? Softer or stiffer? I want to do Bilstein in mine but I want the DRC Option.
nothing better than drc
you wont regret it its costly for a reason. i did 165 mph and rides like am doing 40

Nice work great video !! How do u like the b16 suspension? Deff v3 or these going on the b7 rs4 :-) prob these !!!!
@lancegallant3647 thanks 🙏 yes it drives great with the b16 suspension and easily adjustable from stiff to soft. but DRC suspension would win 😅 rs4👌

Did you also install cancelation kit for the electronics on the drc? or do you get any error codes?
