Is this the NORM? (Suspension)

Post by Youngben » Sat Aug 04, 2012 4:27 pm

Ok so i have now had the car a month and starting to get comfortable with it but something that has bothered me for a bit now is the suspension! now im not sure its right! the front seems to sit right but the rear low! allmost as if its on standard front and SS+ rear? really like the way the rear sits and would like the front to match! is this the norm or is it just me!

Normal - front suspension level is noticeably higher than the rear.
One of my pet hates.

Mines the same and I've often wondered if this was normal.

Are you sure it is the suspension?

I thought it was just a bigger wheel arch up front on all of the Audis that gives this look. Get a look at the whole car to see what I mean.
