Suspension feature, problem or just settling?
I noticed this morning the driver's side rear of the car is much lower than the rest. I have the sports suspension and can fit two figures between the front tire and fender, but in the rear, only one at an angle. Car doesn't seem to handle any differently, but I will prolly take it in to have it checked out. Thoughts?

If you would rather see a whole side shot, let me know.

Yup.. double check the other rear wheel and you'll probably find the same (m)
It's hard to describe, but the rear fenders skirt the wheels lower than the front... I measured the ground clearance at the front and rear (along the side skirt) and found that it was actually the same.

The passanger side rear I can still put two figures between the tire and fender, where the drivers side it is one at an angle (tried it again). I know I am repeating myself. 
Hopelly these pictures will help.

Ok. after writing this post up, I decided to measure the height from the ground to the fender and the driver's side measures higher, but looks lower. Guh. I guess this wasn't a good measurement.
Thanks for additional thoughts and comments.

If Audi/s are anything like 3 series BMW's, the right side is lower(m)
95% of 3 series bmw's are lower on the right rear side then the left rear side
This is not a myth but an actual fact . . .
