Suspension height.

[Shaf]

Hi does anyone know what mm a standard a4 b8 has? My car is an s line model, so when the garage changed one of my rear suspension I noticed it was way higher then the rest, I just assumed because it was a new one it would settle down but it hasn't so now I'm looking to replace it but I don't know what the height is. Thank you

Hi sounds like they changed it for a standard ride height shock, the S line will have factory tuned suspension which is normally 20mm lower.

Hi Steve, any ideas to what the exact mm sline spring should be?

As you can see one is considerably higher.

Hello Shaf. 
Apologies for stating the obvious, but you will now have to return the car to the garage for them to replace the spring with the correct one. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.

Hi Shaf the first picture nails it as you can plainly see the top of the spring is not sitting in the spring mount and has one coil wrapped around the top of the spring mounting if you look at the other picture as this one its sitting in the top mount on its rubber vibration cushion, technically you should always replace springs in pairs as what is classed as the good side has a fair amount of corrosion at the top, tbh the bad side looks like its been fitted upside down.

Hi just make sure whoever fits them gets the springs the right way up.
