I took some measurements today from VCDS just for curiosities sake.

I used the absolute vehicle height measuring blocks.
Engine off for all of them.

(Auto) car empty door open
LF 375.9
LR 388.5
RF 380.1
RR 388.5

(Auto) with me in the car and door open
LF 367.5
LR 380.1
RF 373.8
RR 384.3
So I weigh roughly 8.4 mm. (ha)

(Auto) with me in the car and door closed
LF 378.0
LR 378.0
RF 390.6
RR 384.3
Good. I can see the Left side leveled out when I shut the door. (I doubt my garage is perfectly level left-to-right)

(Dynamic) with me in the car and door closed
LF 369.6
LR 369.6
RF 378.0
RR 371.7
Dynamic dropped it 8.4 mm in the front and 12.6 mm rear

(Comfort)with me in the car and door closed
LF 375.9
LR 378.0
RF 386.4
RR 382.2
Comfort went back to near Auto levels.

I may have to go back and see what it shows when "raised" and when driving around a bit.
It would also be interesting to see what other peoples values are.

So where are these measurements from? Wheel center to fender, or what?

They are direct from VCDS. This is not the body height measurements for the lowering trick, but the actual value the control module "sees".

I don't think the absolute values here are as interesting as the relative ones... very cool.
