Front higher than rear
Hi Guys
Very quick question, which may be well known ? I have my car on the Dynamic setting ( 06 4.2tdi non-sport A8L ) and i notice that the front is higher than the rear... Is that expected? Thanks Chris

Is it actually higher, or is it an optical illusion caused by a larger wheel gap (higher wheel arch in the guard) in the front like the D2's?

The correct air suspension measurements (from centre of wheel to top of wheel arch are:
Audi A8 (4E) standard suspension (PR-1BK): 416 mm (front) and 398 mm (rear) (Your normal setting) Audi A8/S8 (4E) sport suspension (PR-2MA/2MB): 396 mm (front) and 378 mm (rear) (Your dynamic setting) The check should be carried out on a level surface and if a long way out then a re-calibration procedure can be carried out using VAGcom
