Suspension Questions....
I have a '97 A4 with Z51 suspension. I notice that it rides lower than most of 'vette's I've seen. Today for example I was parked next to a new Z06 and my car was about a inch lower than the Z. I guy I bought it from said that the suspension was stock. Does the Z51 ride lower? I've read on the site that the suspension can be lowered by tighening down on some screws. Is that true? Can the suspension be adjusted up? Thanks in advance for your help.
Also, comparing a '97 with a new Z - your old shocks may not be as spritely as his new ones.

The ride height is adjustable via the mounting bolts on the ends of the spring. You can raise/lower it probably 2 inches that way.
