Hi,

I'm thinking of buying an A4 Avant 2.0L or 3.0L Tdi Quattro. In my work I have to go down the occasional farm track or through fields and am concerned about scrapping the underside - was a problem in my previous car - BMW 3 Series.
Ideally I would get an A4 Allroad but the 2nd hand prices haven't fallen low enough yet, (and the engine blew up on the beemer so I've got to change cars ahead of schedule but at least it means I can back in an audi ) so I'm thinking about the feasibility of raising the suspension on an ordinary A4, probably by the same amount that the Allroad is raised over the A4 which is 37mm. Has anyone got any experience with this? Or any comments? I'm aware that there would be a deterioration in the handling but could potentially fit stiffer springs to reduce the body roll?
