Default A6 Allroad default values

Did some measurements to my A6 Allroad and seems like in front i have 10 mm difference between right & left
Do you know the default values of the initial setup ?

I did find on RossTech site Ross-Tech: VAG-COM: Suspension Level Control Calibration the values for the Audi A6 (4F) Allroad (PR-1BY): 388 mm (front) and 380 mm (rear) and put it on the C7 4G but now the car stands pretty high

I will put back the initial ones with front correction but I wonder if somebody knows the initial ride height values for A6 C7 Allroad

Best regards

Thank you for step by step instructions! Worked well , except I could not do any changes to previous values (Step 4) until I first did the "Delete calibration for level control"

Only did 10mm , I will see how it goes and if everything ok I may do another 2 to meet my initial goal of 12mm

I know this post is been dead for a little bit but I just did this same procedure through my Autel 906S scanner successfully. Thanks for the info, I got a 2013 S8 D4, it looks and drives much more sportier thanks to this info, I didn't want to use the links and this worked out pefect. THANKS!

Has anyone confirmed using this method for a C7.5 (post-facelift) S6? I'm interested in giving it a shot, but I want to ensure compatibility.

Yes, I did it to my 16 as well as a couple others.

I don't think there would be any difference at all.

Going to try for sure. Probably a modest 10mm or so. I'll likely have the car re-aligned afterward too, since I've got 20k miles and haven't done an alignment.

I'll report back on how it goes.

Reporting back as promised. Instructions were great and worked perfectly first try on my C7.5 2016 S6. Lowered 12mm against stored values. I may redo it later with real measurements when I'm feeling more OCD, but this'll do. Took a short drive and dynamic mode at this lower height definitely feels stiffer but not uncomfortable. More driving will yield more feedback - I'll be back to share that in the future.

Thanks for the instructions - made it very easy to do this modification.

Drove to work today (30 mins) and the ride quality felt nearly identical to stock. Car drove great, and looks fantastic. I snapped this heading out of the gym this morning:

Thread revival! This worked great. Got my car lowered 15mm and it looks awesome with the new wheels I put on! Had oddly different stock sizes which seemed normal from the posts, but I added 15mm to each and it looks pretty darn even!
