interesting - does ETKA say anything about the springs being special order too?

Sorry - wasn't logged in. Anyhow checked springs - I have standard according to ETKA. So standard springs and red shocks and 1BD code. Two out of three for GMBH suspension but I don't think it is...

Mine is defo lower than any of the standard RS4's I've seen but it could just be that lowered. I will have a look at the weekend and see if I can see Eibach etc..

Weird how ETKA is wrong about damper colour (that stock is red too), maybe we all have the quattro GmbH dampers but stock springs? Seems odd to develop two dampers for such a small production run.

I don't see a problem with it unless you specifically want full leather.
I've swapped my interior :wink:
I agree. Brought mine from NJ. He swapped the leather interior for Hi-tech as that is what I wanted.

Don't let it bother you: just get the interior you want :D
