Default I'm sorry...I'm an idiot... * Sport Suspension measurment V 2.0 *

I guess I needed a little bit of training on how to read a tape measure. :-P The number "2" stands for 2 feet, as in 24", not for 20 inches. :-D

So...here we go again...

That seems a little better right? 2002 Sport suspension...stock as far as I know as I bought the car Certified Pre-Owned from an Audi dealership.

Default Your stock sport has no rear finger gap? I think you might have a collapsed spring

As far as I know, your car has to have some gap and that is why even high performance exotics look like they are 4x4s (big fender to tire gap)

I highly doubt that any OEM suspension could be this low (ie, no finger gap) without something being wrong. Either that or you got extra large tires.

Default The rear does not look like the 02 sport... I think you've got after market springs.

Don't say things like that, you'll make me worried something is wrong. Tires are 235/40-18.

Default Do you have a gap at the rear? Or is the lack of gap a result of the camera angle?

If you compare the picture of your car to mine, they look similar, but my numbers are roughly 1"-1.25" less than yours.

Default Why don't you take one of the back wheels off and take a look at the springs?

And see if there's any obvious sign that it's either damaged or aftermarket?

Definitely the rears are not stock. It may be aftermarket as mentioned. I have an Ultrasport and my rear tires have less than two finger gap.
