    RS5 Coupe/Cab Stock Ride Heights

    Are the stock ride heights between the coupes and cabs supposed to be the same? I want to lower my cab a bit more but compared to the coupe pictured it looks to be lowered already. Im currently at 27.5 inch ground to fender all the way around with a .5 inch gap between tire and fender.

    The cab has more weight at the rear so will sit lower than the coupe. I'd say you were lowered already with a 0.5" gap. Standard cars usually have around 1" to 1.5" gap, slightly more if it's a European spec car with DRC suspension.
    Both Eibach and H&R OE lower by just slightly less than 1" so you could have those?

    I pulled this comparison pic from rushpuppy's build before he lowered his. After his drop it looks close to where i'm at right now - maybe .25" lower. i might be a little off on my measurments on the wheel to fender gap give or take an 1/8. I understand the extra weight with the cabs but 27.5" doesn't seem lowered compared to others who have lowered. so is 27.5" stock height for most or do think mine is off?

    yeah I've noticed the cab sits lower. Check out Hippy's Cab.
