Is it standard suspension or sports you have. I have X reg 2.5 TDI Quattro with sports suspension and I find it too low. Fancy a swap on suspension if yours is standard? Max axle loads are 1200kg for rear axle on both cars and front is 1205 on mine and 1260 on yours not sure if that is not too much of a difference. Anyway that's just a thought as you are a bit far away and postage both ways would be a bit expensive.

If you change it for aftermarket coilovers I might be interested in your if they are standard and cheap enough.
