Shaf Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Hi does anyone know what mm a standard a4 b8 has? My car is an s line model, so when the garage changed one of my rear suspension I noticed it was way higher then the rest, I just assumed because it was a new one it would settle down but it hasn't so now I'm looking to replace it but I don't know what the height is. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi sounds like they changed it for a standard ride height shock, the S line will have factory tuned suspension which is normally 20mm lower.

Magnet Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Hello Shaf. Apologies for stating the obvious, but you will now have to return the car to the garage for them to replace the spring with the correct one. Kind regards, Gareth.

Hi just make sure whoever fits them gets the springs the right way up. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
