Did they trim the bumpstops? The reverse rake there seems like more than I've seen on other 034 Spring vehicles.

Oooooh good question. I had seen this instruction before but I forgot to ask. They did mention that a very quick follow up alignment might be in order, but the bumpstops didn't come up. Not sure if 034 calls this out in the packaging that it ships in either. Have e-mailed my shop to find out.

Is it possible that will settle or drop more up front in the days after the install?

Anymore updates for suspension upgrades? Im still holding out for the KW HAS , but if it won’t happen, the 034 springs will have to do.

I had the 034 lowering springs installed about 6000miles ago and after hoping for the front settle out it never did. I have the same reverse rake situation and can’t find a fix anywhere..

@FordAward what is the hub to fender measurement on the rear of your A4 Allroad with 034's? What measurement would you like to have on the rear? The reason the front is higher than the rear is because the A4 Allroad's front lower spring perch is mounted higher on the strut than the A4 sedan. My A4 Allroad with stock rear springs has a hub to fender measurement of approx 400mm. A4 Allroads' rear springs utilize a thicker upper spring pad than the A4 sedan. If you want to get to approx 375 mm consider re-installing your OEM rear springs with the thinner upper spring pads from the A4 sedan.
