Both sport and non-sport.

I want as much ammunition as I can get when I call my dealer and/or AOA

Pics would also be really helpful, if at all possible.

And if you could just measure the ride height and wheel gap (highest part of tire to highest part of fender) too.

Thanks

Default Will do...but you have to wait until I go to lunch in 3 hours...

I have the sport package and it really looks low to me. Not that I mind, I love it, but I wonder sometimes if the previous owned lowered it himself and not through Audi.

I have virtually no wheel gap in the rear, like if I stick my fingers in the wheel well, I touch the tire and fender at the same time...so what is that, like a 1/4 - 1/2" gap?

Default That is about what the other kids car is. Just a touch over 1 finger in the back

Yours sounds about right, mine is definitely higher

And thanks for the help

Default nope, I couldn't see any blocks

Im thinking im gonna bring it to the ricer suspension shop and see if can throw them $20 and just throw both audis up on a lift and see if they can find anything different


In the front, nothing was in the spring coils, in the rear I can't see where the blocks would be (but the front is much higher anyway).

Default Did this the other day in prep for coilovers.

DF=25-3/4" gap 2"
PF=25-3/4" gap 2"
DR=25-1/2" gap 1-1/2"
PR=25-1/4" gap 1-1/4"

3.0 quattro tip, full tank of gas and 15k miles. Mine doesn't sit nearly as low in front as 2002's that I've seen.

Default JERK!!

haha..thanks, but this suspension thing is really bothering me

I noticed it seemed high when I had it, but didn't get to compare it to another Audi until a few days ago. And it most definitely is.
