Default Looking at my ride, it looks like the rear of my avant sits....

lower than the front. It seems the front is about half and inch or so higher. Is there anyway to mess up an intall of HR's/Bilstein suspension setup? Is it possible to intall the front on the back and vise versa or is it obvious which springs/shocks go to the front and rear?
Maybe I'm just being ****, but I've seen other avants with the same setup and same size wheels that look even in front and back or at least the front being alot closer in drop height to the back. Does this look normal?

Default The front fender opening is larger then the rear...

If it's actually level (measure rocker panel to ground at each end), it will have a greater gap at the front fender.

Default The Bilstein shocks have adjustable perches for the rear shocks...

you might want to get them adjusted...

Default That's why you should get coilovers so you can adjust!

I have the same feeling! Stock price keeps going up but my job security is going the other way.
