Just bought this and can't tell if it's stock or has aftermarket suspension. Is this the typical Titanium package ride height? It's an '07 A4 S-line

Either lowered or it has B5 front spring perches.

It looks like eibach springs. But look in the wheel well and what color shocks and springs do you have?

Sport suspension.

Imo not enought reverse rack to be on unmolested sport.

Plus the back looks slightly lower than a sport also.

Does not look like stock sport.

After comparing to Rabbit's sport suspension, you probably have either something like H&R sports springs or a coilover kit with a mild salsa setting

I can't get a view of the springs or shocks. Not enough room to fit my head.

Yupp. Likely springs not coils since its not slammed and there's still a slight reverse rake.

Hard to tell from the pictures alone. My factory sport suspension height was 25.5" FTG on all 4 corners with B5 perches. If you can't see under there, maybe a quick measure would help identify?

cant you even look into the wheel well through the wheels and see the spring? with a flashlight I am sure you could see it somehow without tools or crawling under.

ETA it does look lowered.

100% lowered.
no b7 comes that low stock lel
rears especially.

+1

If you look under the car from the rear bumper you should be able to get a peek at the rear suspension. Or just jack it up, you don't have to remove the wheel.

Sweet Titanium. Almost bought a Quartz myself, but non Ti. Your car height is similar to mine, but I'm pretty sure you're lower.

no too much wheel gap for that to be lowered -- thats definitely riding high 4x4 style

x how ever many other people said it was lowered!! haha It's got a lil bit of reverse rake, which someone else already pointed out. That's a dead give away it's lowered.

My $$ is that you have H&R springs installed. take off one wheel and snap of pic

The quartz i went to see on Eibach springs looked just like this ride height, then again all springs aren't too far off.

As everyone says and I agree, it is lowered by the previous owner. Here's mine 100% stock with Sport Suspension.

Looks like factory sport shocks and maybe H&R sport springs

Looks like i came too late to give my two cents.
The car is definitely lowered and its been confirmed by the red springs.

Another way to tell if a car is lowered is by getting it aligned. I do not think the chamber can be set to the sport's specification if the car was lowered. At least not on the H&R and Neuspeed springs.

H&r sport springs

I have the same setup

Hello 80s Guy, how do I know if I have the Sport Suspension?By looking at the shocks. They are red but probably covered in dirt so you might just see a hint in red like the pics above.

Okay. Couldn't recall. But to be honest, that's not an 80's program. It is from 1999-2013 and those were the times I watched the LEAST amount of television. Spent many years at the theaters. But during the 80's, I watch a ton of TV as a kid. I even remembered the Simpsons appearing on shows before they became prime-time years later.
Sorry for the off-topic guys.
