Suspension problems on my 95 S4s

[charduck]

I have the S4s... How do you raise the front suspension ? I cant get it up the driveway without a ramp.

Make a ramp. Your car is set up in the optimum configuration and any change will upset the balance of the car. I'd advocate fixing the drive so you can use it with the suspension as it is!

The bottom rubber lip is only 1 1/2 inches from the ground... I can bearly go over speed bumps.

Reverse.

The S4s was never fitted with adjustable suspension, you'll need to get underneath and see what's there.

The car might also be fitted with a S300 lip at the front which is lower to the ground than standard.

The dealer told me that just about everything on it was upgraded including the adjustable suspension.

He probably meant the rear adjustable links.

Fix the driveway, throw down a 2X4 across the driveway to act as step up, or get another house. You will really screw up the handling and high speed stability if you raise the front.

Very nice B)

That's definatly lowered. You can either raise the car or reverse it up (although you might find the front still clips. personally I'd add 5mm to it and see if it helps - being black it wont look so obvious.

You'll need a 'c spanner' to adjust the suspension turn buckles.

All extremes you could also replace the tyres with a slightly taller profile. Did that to mine for other reasons though and also helped get over speeds humps without the big scrape.

you could ask your mother in law to help you

let her sit on the back of your car

probably it's a nice lady

like mine

Reverse into the driveway at an sharp angle, you should be able to clear.

Fix your suspension. If it has been lowered, it should be able to be raised.

have you tried going un your driveway in the sharpest angle that you can? I have to do that with my cars otherwise they scrape.

Ramp is built. No more scrapes going up or down the driveway.
