Hey "Sport Package" owners...what is your ground-to-fender measurment?

Don't be lazy...get out there with a tape measure and measure the distance from the ground to the top edge of the wheel well.

Here is mine:

As far as I know...my car has the stock Sport suspension, no aftermarket springs. It is a 2002 model. I bought it pre-owned from an Audi dealership. I'm on 18" wheels with 235/40-18 tires.

I'm having some people telling me my car is way to low for stock Sport suspension because a non-Sport has the following specs:

Front: 27.0"
Rear: 26.75"

So...can you guys go out real quick and measure? Thanks

Hmm...yours is 2003 though, 2002 had the lowest of the factory Sport suspension right?

Hmm...is it a possibility I have an aftermarket suspension and it was sold like that from the Audi dealer?

21 3/8" and 21 15/16" seem to be impossible for the stock sport suspension. The car would be a bit higher due to your 40 profile tires on 18" wheels.

I measured my stock non sport heights on my 03 A4 and it is approximately those heights you mentioned(27"). Then after installing some Eibach Prokit springs, the car went down to 25 3/4" front and 26" on the rears. I'm still running the stock 17" sport wheels with 40 series profile tires.

I would have to agree with Eddie Man on this one.
