    Avant Owner and Want to Lift the Rear Up to Even it Out, Can I Add Spring Pads?

    New to this car, but not to Audi whatsoever

    Just picked up a 12 A4 Avant and am obsesssed with it.

    Bought it for my wife, its the Premium Plus so its already
    lowered and on the RS5 style 19s.

    The Rear seems to "look" lower than the front, since
    i do not want to paint bumpers every 3 weeks from mall
    curbs, Im wondering how can I pad the rear up 1/2 inch.

    In most of my MBZs i can add spring pads from other MBZs
    and the forums always come through. Can anyone chime in
    with how I can achieve lifting the rear up a tad? and if you
    have parts #'s I have beer =)

    Thank you

    Pictures would help.
    Also, fender to ground and hub to fender measurements would be useful. It looks like your car was dropped prior to your purchase.
    Premium plus comes with standard suspensions unless the sports package was added. You can tell by the types of seats in the front, if you can pull out thigh supports then you probably have the sports package. Regardless, the sports height is pretty high.

    YES my thigh supports do come out, here is a pic of the car , I have the original window sticker

    Rear just appears to sag a tad and I just want to know If i can add pads or if there is another way
    to crank the rear up a bit.

    Check this out. I used this to lift my rear about half an inch. It's a plastic spacer for the rear spring perch. This is OEM for the A4 Avants.

    This thread has also helped me too! Currently have solowerk coilovers installed and loaded up the rear with stuff for a weekend beach trip. Unfortunately, the rear did not rise and sits about 1/2 lower then before with the highest rear settings.

    Thanks everyone!

    Also not sure why no one has complimented your rare find. Let me be the first to say you have a magnificent looking car. You got very close to the perfect B8 A4 avant.
