Default Sandman...answer to your question

Measured ground to tip of wheel well height with my new Audi/Eibachs.
Front: 25 5/8"
Rear: 26

There is about an inch of space in the front wheel well and 1.5 inches in the rears...
Cheers,
-DJ

Thanks DJ. I appreciate it!

Yours is right on with the specs and other reports posted. Lowered about 1.4". Right?

Mine now sits at 25" in the front and 25 1/4" in the rear or a lowering of almost 2" which is just too low. My mudflaps bottom out constantly. The extra half inch is all it will take to be perfect. If anyone is looking for the "slammed look", then this set would be for you. LOL

I still love the results and will post a review once the height is fixed. The dealer and eibach have been great and promise a resolution.

Any others with similar results?

What type of resolution is being contemplated?????? My recent install is likewise lower (1.5") than expected. I'm more concerned about add'l settling and also something I really didn't give any prior thought, ie, 4 people in the car at the same time.

I gave them my measurments from the center of the center cap(they requested this)as well as the the measurment from the ground. Both were to the tip of the wheel well. The are now in communication with germany and as soon as I know I will post.

They will have to try another set in my opinion and I wont be satisfied unless they do. Many other people have installed without this problem including DJ. Very strange.

Thanks for the response. I also find it strange there w/b such variability. Look forward to your update re; the resolution.
