    I have yet to takethesprings off an audi..but I am pretty sure that all cars have rubber puck or have a rubber wound piece that goes around the spring...if you forgot to put one on...that could be where you aregetting the difference in height. hope this helps..Chris

    It could just be the way its sitting. My driveway is almost level but if i park the car one way one side has less gap than the other. If i park it in a different position its the opposite. Check it in different places. If the same wheel always has less gap then you got a problem.

    My driveway looks level but its not.... park another car in the same spot and see if it leans. I thought I had one coilover too far down the first time I lowered my car myself but it was just the friggin' driveway.
