Need help on RS4 Sport Suspension Plus SS+, too low?
My RS4 2007 have the Sport Suspension Plus pakage, but how should it really look? Is it something wrong with my car, it's very low at the rear and a gap at the front. Can anyone help me please. Wheel center to the wing is 33 cm (13 inch) at the rear but 36 cm (14.2 inch) at the front. It does not look right? Does anyone know if this is correct? See attached picture.
Thanks for any help.

I have SS on mine but its a saloon so not too sure if you could draw any conclusions but I'll throw you some numbers over the weekend if think it might help

Hi larshs
With SS+ the gap is always much greater at the front
I'm not at home so can't measure my gaps, but yours looks absolutely fine to me

Thanks guys, if this how it should be then I'm happy. Just looks a little odd to me. Only a handful of RS4's here in Norway and none with the SS+ option so have not been able to compare with anyone.
RE: Need help on RS4 Sport Suspension Plus SS+, too low?
The avant do sit lower at the rear and having seen MEV's car which is on SS+ it did sit lower at the back but must admit your car doesn't look like she is sitting right. is the handbrake on in these pictures?
Agreed!! Lucky B$%£^$d

Nice looking car, get some more pics up.
Money can't buy you love, but it can buy you a well sorted racecar

Hi Larshs, just had a quick measure of the suspension (saloon ss+) 34cm rear and 37cm front.

the handbrake is not on, I havent noticed any difference on or off either. But I love the ceramic brakes

Re: RE: Need help on RS4 Sport Suspension Plus SS+, too low?
Thank you RS66, seems you have the same difference then (3 cm). Maybe this is how it should be.RS66 wrote:Hi Larshs, just had a quick measure of the suspension (saloon ss+) 34cm rear and 37cm front.

Another picture for you. This is just after switching to summer tires. The picture is taken directly after removing the car jack. To me the car looked better for a second, but it "fell down" after the first run.sonny wrote:Nice looking car, get some more pics up.

RE: Re: RE: Need help on RS4 Sport Suspension Plus SS+, too
When I was shopping for mine, I looked at a saloon with ss+ and I couldn't get my finger between the rear tyre and wheel arch. Not as useful as real numbers I know 
Regrettably, I didn't buy the car.... it was a beauty.
