Same springs, different ride height?

[pogi]

So while waiting around Freddie's shop today I met a fellow AZer by the name of AudiRob. Turns out he has the same exact spring/shock setup as me (H&R Sport/Bilstein) yet he's about half an inch lower in the back!

We're both FWD, both have the same shocks, both the same springs, both dolphin grey :P, and I've already put about 3 months worth of driving on my suspension, so why are my rears so high?

Here's a picture of my car after my suspension install - unfortunately the rear is still about that height while AudiRob's has practically no gap.

maybe he took out the rubber o-rings the stock springs sits on.. weird.

u sure he did not have H&R race springs?

[forevraudi]

if you have bilstein sport struts, i know that those raised my car a little but going from tein spring/oem base strut combo to adding those on. maybe you and rob have differences in H&R springs or bilstein struts, they make different types.

Both H&R Sport and Bilstein Sport

sure he doesn't have a subwoofer and box in the trunk?

I have a zero finger gap in the rear but I am quattro. But still your gap should be lower

take a look in his trunk maybe he has something in it or did his springs sag a bit?
