This is something that's always annoyed me since lowering my A3. I haven't been bothered to measure ride height front to back, but either the back is sitting too low and the front is sitting at the correct height, or it's the other way around. Personally I think it's the latter, if anything it should be the other way around as the engine is obviously in the front. Unless they specifically made those springs slightly stiffer/ taller for that purpose. It's not a huge reverse rake, but I reckon it's enough for me to notice as well as someone else.
Hardly accurate but I did the shoe test this morning out of interest, and the toe of my trainer fits comfortably in the rear wheel arch. When I do the same at the front, there's a 10mm gap at least!
Is there anyway of fixing this? I'm sure I read something somewhere that you can replace some part of the front suspension strut setup to it's 'S-line' counterpart (mine is non S-line) to make the gap smaller. Maybe I'm getting confused with something else I've read though.
Seriously, any time I think 'nice little photo opportunity', I take it, look at the huge front arch compared to the nicely and subtly tucked OEM+ rear gap and think 'No.' Case in point:
