Rear springs mistery

[Kalchev]

I'll take another pic on tarmac. I may have shot this one with a slight angle

Goran thanks for the hint about the option codes in the service manual - I checked months ago in the spare tire well, but it had been changed with the bigger version in order to get the lpg tank in there, so the options were from another audi.

After checking the decoder, this is what came out regarding the suspension:
1BM = Standard suspension/shock absorption
0YT = Weight range 18 installation control only, no requirement forecast
0JK = Weight category front axle weight range 10
From your list it seems my rear springs should have 2 green markers. Any chance you have the same list for the front so I can check those too?


Cheers

Front looks high to me, and the rear normal.

Of course, here are the front spring options for a 1999 model.

Here's the 8 on tarmac (probably not the best quality, but the difference between front and rear is still visible):


And here are the pics from the springs.
Front:


Rear:


The markers seem to be the proper ones for my suspension, after checking Goran's list (thanks for those, mate!). Next week I'll have some work done on the front and will take a look at the springs some more. Dunno, maybe there's something on the front ones to lift it up a bit... what do you guys think, rear springs worn out maybe?

PS
I'll take a pic of a similar one I see regularly for comparison, its arches appear to be equally raised above the wheels.
