2018 Golf R. It was a slow and gradual change, but the suspension doesn't feel like it used to. At least in "normal" DCC mode, it feels like the initial travel of the suspension seems under-damped, and then somehow extra damping kicks in mid-stroke or on bigger hits, resulting in a "harsh"...

I have read posts with either bearing failing after install, and...
Thanks for the replies. After some more digging around, it seems that the current version of the OEM one (with "double lip seal"?) was released around 2021. I wonder if that was around the time that the leaky RMS complaints stopped? (Not counting due to bad PCV) I feel a little bit bad for...
2018 Golf R Manual with 45K miles. At some point soon I will get the clutch replaced due to Stage 1. What to do about rear main seal?
I think the current OEM version is 06K103171P. Is it newer than the one I already have?
One mechanic said that if it looks dry, just leave it alone. Mine isn't...
The DSC guy mentioned a "level sensor error" that was fixed in the newer hardware, but I assumed he meant something related to the suspension, not the headlights.
Well whatever, all I want to know if it is going to cause errors or not.
Update to say I called DSC to ask about their controller. They acknowledged that it does not "talk back" to the CANBUS, but that there was also a hardware change and that only early units gave error codes. Perhaps it is ok to buy one if they will allow an unconditional return if it does throw...
2018 Golf R, almost out of warranty.
I don't remember ever having to top off the coolant until last November. (Maybe during one of the car inspections / repairs along the way somebody "topped up all the fluids") Anyway I took it to the dealer, they pressure tested it and found no leaks. Oh...
Why not just get springs with an adjustable perch (like Ground Control) and put those on your stock Monroe DCC shocks. Now you have "coil overs". Use the DSC module to make the shocks stiffer.
