Normal Ride Height?

Post by Pyrotechnic » Tue Jun 12, 2012 8:58 pm

Does this look like a normal ride-height? I'm not aware of it having being lowered, but the rear just looks a little low, especially when compared to other Avants and the front. I'd love the front to be lower, just trying to justify coilovers...

SS I reckon, ditch the drc and go coilovers I did car drives loads better looks better with more adjustments to play with to get it how you want it to look- drive

DRC is a great system when kosher. Id be reluctant to ditch if it were me.

Hmm, cheers guys. Any way to tell fo' sho' if it's SS+?

I'd love coilovers, seriously contemplating them, the RS replaced this, so I'm all about the lows ;]

Option Code

You should have what looks like a till receipt attached to the inside of your Service Book. It should list all the factory options on your car (unless the SS+ was a retrofit). Look for 2MU

My service book is a duplicate with no 'reciept' in it, but there's a printed ticket thing in the wallet with a barcode on it, is that it?
