Afternoon gents, first time in this neck of the woods for me!
My friend has a 3.0tdi sportback and the ride height is uneven at the rear, perhaps by 10/15mm or so... He claims that he's seen it on many A5's, he was even in an Audi show room the other week and said that the brand new ones there were the same. According to his accurate means of measurement he there was 2 fingers arch gap on one side compared to 2 on the other, and that was the ones in the show room.
Is this a known thing among A5 owners? . . Also he's asked me to look into his best options for lowering (only wants to go 2mm or so) I was going to suggest to him either a set of H&R springs (but even still i can't promise that'll cure the uneven ride height issue) or failing that perhaps some AP or H&R coilovers (depending on how much he wants to spend). Obviously then we can adjust the ride height accordingly.
Anyone got any first hand experience in these areas? Would be grateful if you could have your tuppence worth so we can work out his best options
Thanks in advance!
