S Line Suspension. What to choose?

**mkc** · 26-08-2008,03:40 PM

Do we know if all S Lines are being supplied with 30mm then? Seems that we appear to have a mixed bag of some with, some without, some being supplied at 30mm without being asked.

Im just concerned as I requested 30mm but after looking at the spec sheet that came from the lease company its not mentioned on there. But someone mentioned it does not have an order code number anyway.

Im not too concerned but I just wanted the car to look a bit more aggressive being slightly lower.

I dont know mate but i made sure the lease company put it on the order form and also got the print out from the audi dealers computer showing it (albeit no magic order/ spec code). I asked them about it so many times that i must have really wound them up! he he

ask them to send you what the dealer has on their computer mate. Say you requested it and you'd better get it or you will reject the car

Well, I could but its a bit late in the day now. Its registered and sat waiting for them to deliver this Monday. If it was the wrong colour or something then I would cause a problem but Im not going to refuse the car at this stage. Its a company car and I need it for work, so it wouldnt go down to well if I caused a problem now!! Just slightly annoyed that I requested it but between the lease company and the dealer and the factory its fell off the spec sheet. I never actually received anything in writing to say it was the request anyway as at the time people were unsure between Sport and S Line suspension etc. My own fault I think for not double checking. Still on the bright side, 4 days to go

enjoy!

so how is the suspension mate?

**mkc** · 05-09-2008,01:44 PM

Ill need to measure it to see exactly what I have. I really think I have the 20mm to be honest as Ive seen nothing other than my Email request for 30mm S Line.

So assuming we have 20mm, it is fine for me. Im no expert with this sort of thing so cannot starting comparing it to other cars Ive owned (ive only ever had three cars, 106Gti, 1 Series and now this). Compared to the SE I had for 24 hours this does feel a bit more planted going into corners and a bit more bumpy over poor roads. Not teeth shattering tho! I would say the 1 Series was more firmer, that was a "Sport" with Run Flat Tyres which were very hard.

There, dont think Jeremey Clarkson needs to worry do you!

cheers

I have just got my S-Line Avant with 19" alloys. For those who are a little concerned about ordering 19" alloys fear not. The ride is an improvement over my sports suspension on by 2004 B6 which is incredably hard. I have run it down a cobbled street, no problem. The person that described driving over a bump is like having your spine pushed though your brain is talking utter [expletive

], some BMW driving journalist no doubt.

The 20mm drop with 19" wheels is highly recommended.
