From the wiki description, which may or may not be correct, the DR system replaces the standard sway bars so I suspect could affect articulation off-road. I'll find out more for myself one day as a brother today purchased a 2008 TDV8 RRS fitted with DR.Quote:

There's certainly a difference in the front axles' articulation when comparing a Sport and a D4 though.

Are we talking standard RRS vs standard D4 and if so what is the difference and why. I always thought the basic suspension was the same but I now understand there are some differences bit not sure why.Quote:

The sway bars on the DR fitted RRS are different. Physically, the sway bar is in 2x sections, with a hydraulic unit in the middle. When pressurised, this unit locks both sides of the sway bar. IYSWIM
As for the differences between the RRS & D3/4... Yes, whilst essentially interchangable, the suspension is 'tuned' slightly differently.

I had known about the 2-piece bar and that it locked rather than pushed against the lean as the D2 ACE does but was surprised to learn of the existance of an hydraulic oil reservoir similar to the D2's ACE reservoir, but now I know why.
Does DR on the RRS have 2-piece bars front and back or just on the front? I suspect both. I note that DR is listed as ACE on the RRS build info sheet.
IIRC - The bars are front & rear... and yes, it's also known as ACE.

Can anyone tell me why you would ever want to drive in 'Normal' mode rather than 'Dynamic' mode if your RRS has it, and if there's no reason not to, why does it mostly (but not always) have to be re-selected on start up?
