[s-cars] Wheel Well Height

[calvinlc at earthlink.net]

At this point I am almost wondering if I have a set of '93 springs on the
passenger side and '92 springs on the driver side.  That would suck, but it
would also be my luck.

my 95 S6 was 27.5" high in the front with the stock springs and
Bilsteins (from the wheel well to the ground with stock 16" wheels and
stock tire size).   ...and now that you mention it, I do remember
thinking that it got higher after the Bisteins were put in but I thought
it was my imagination.    I never took a measurement with the original
Boge struts.
Presently it's at about 26.25 with Intrax springs (thumbs down) and
Konis and I find that it is a little bit too low for speed bumps and
driveways.   A 1/2" higher would be better I think.

I had planned to put 92 springs in.   I thought those would give me a
ride height somewhere in between.     ??

Let us know what you find.
