Sport Suspension

Post by warnhammar » Sat Feb 26, 2011 7:31 pm

What is the option code for the Sport Suspension +? Have looked in the book that came with my car and put it through a decoder and it says sports suspension but wondered if this is just standard or is it the optional sports suspension?

You can easily tell looking at how the car sits.

As above, the car looks slightly lower at the back than the front.

Car looks nice fella, to be fair I cant tell lol. Look in the boot or the service book for the list of option codes. Will tell you if it has or not.

BTW thats the best plate I have seen so far for the RS4

agree with sonny, too hard to tell although not being funny but a full side straight on photo might have helped...

I have SS+ and I couldn't get my hand in the rear wheel arch

My car (day after purchase) on standard suspension. It looks higher than yours does in the pics.

However, the car may have had SS+ Retro fitted, i this is the case then there will be no telling. unless you have the receipts.

what's the paint code? LY7W? common colour but rare on RS.
There was that one for sale in Wimbledon privately back end of 2010, was it (user) Northwind?
