Yes, It looks to be around 14 (from 14 6/8 a few weeks ago) now from fender to center cap in front. The right rear is higher than left rear by almost 3/4 inch, so something isn't even in the rear. The pics from a few weeks ago were taken from the left side, so that may be why the rear appears so low. The right side isn't that low. Goes in next wed to fix the clutch switch and have them look at all of them again. Have you got your parts ready for install yet? Eager to see how your measurements come out.

Please measure from the fender to wheel centerline. This method of measurement is specified in the Bentley manual. It cancels out any differences in wheel size, tire size, and tire wear.

please humor me...
it's difficult to guesstimate the center of the wheel while holding the stick perpindicular...
mine measures:
F 13.75 or so
R 13.5
edit: remeasured using a plumb bob and metal rule
F: 14 even
R: 13.5

I do not have the other issues but the revs in my 08 always hang. In my S4 the revs dropped like a stone. I am use to it now but never understood why they were so different. It makes it very hard to accelerate quickly because you have to wait so long for the revs to drop before you can upshift. Are you guys saying that this is not normal for a RS4?

They probably replaced one - and that did not fix it so they replaced the other. And with electrical parts one does not put them back in inventory
