Hi, this is quite common on Avants with this setup. On the Audizine forums a lot of people have trimmed down the rubber bump stops that the rear springs sit in to reduce the ride height further.

Cheers......does it settle down at all after it beds in......only picked it up from the garage.

From what I've read it will drop a little more once settled but the back still remains a bit higher which has caused some people to shorten the rubber stops as mentioned.

i had a similar issue with my A4 Saloon. I installed a full H&R lowering kit and the front was noticeable lower than the rear. Loved how the rear looked on lowered springs however the front was too low and it was causing issues when going over speed bumps. In the end i had to buy another set of front springs with a less aggressive drop to bring the front up slightly. The car now sits perfectly and i can get over speed bumps no problem.

Cheers for the help troops....but am ready for throwing her in the skip....I replaced the lot, shocks, springs bushes the lot, the driver side sits 10 mm lower and rubs now....been on the dog to elbach and the garage that fitted them ....spend a small fortune and don't know what to do

are they the right springs as they are different variations for each car depending on axle weight

Here is one of the threads about this rake problem and how the rubber stop can be trimmed down to reduce the height or springs swapped for the sportlines.
