Default Ideal ride height for A4 Avant (or sedan) HELP PLEASE
I am having my car lowered with Bilstein shocks and Eichback springs. Is the ideal set-up with the front higher or lower than the rear? I need to let my mechanic know asap.

I've seen a few Avants lowered with the rear lower. Is there reason for that?

Thanks!

usually with springs, its close to even but the rear is a tad bit lower. often times if people get coiloveres they adjust them to even ride height.

Is it better to have the rear lower than the front?

Avants should be slightly lower in the rear stock, so just lower front and rear the same amount
