magnetic dampers audi A5
Hi
Has anyone got or tried Audi's magnetic dampers? Have you found any significant improvement in road holding? I am presently ordering a new Audi A5 cabriolet.
Many thanks in anticipation.

with the switch you can put the suspension in "Comfort", "Auto" or Dynamic.
I feel quite a difference between these modes.
you can also choose "Individual", where you can choose yr own settings in the MMI.

Many thanks.
I have to order any accessories for the car this morning so I don't have much time left. I am hoping that audi drive select with damper control will be as good as having 'Sline' suspension which is unavailable for the Audi A5 cabriolets. The default suspension is 'sport ' which drops ther car 20mm whereas 'Sline' drops the ride by a further 10mm.
I don't supose anyone has any experience of airscarfs? If so I should be interested in your comments.

Apparently the damper control for the A5 is not magnetic and stiffens the shock absorbers in unison - i.e. not individually!
I strongly suspect that this will not be as effective from a range of view points.
Anyway does anyone have any experience / views on this?
Unfortunately it is 10.45 am at present in the Uk and I am rapidly running out of time to order any accessories!
Many thanks in anticipation.
