Default I think its to prevent cracking/bending of the blade
while it sits on ships and trains so they dont have to warantee another set. Its cheaper probably for them...

Default I'm so jealous! Can I have it? ;)
It's georgeous! I keep thinking I don't want black because of how hard it is to keep clean, but I might change my mind.

Congrats and enjoy!

Default Seems like they raise the sport suspension every model year. 2002 B6 had the lowest...
that had the best dropped factory sport suspension, really no wheel gap at all.

Default Congrats !!! Suspension sitting high before dealer prep means suspension...
shipping blocks are most likely still in place...
Like how mine was on delivery before prep.

What are shipping blocks? Where are they located if they're not removed?
