Yeah I can go quite a bit higher on both ends actually, especially in the front. If you go back to my coilover install, theres a picture of the car jacked up and it was up higher than stock easily. As far as lowering goes though, the backs are about as low as PSI recommends. They told me I need to get shorter springs for the rear if I wanted to be as low as I went with the H&R kit. Reason being is the top half of the rear perches swivel to keep the spring seated at all times. If you don’t raise the rear enough, the perches have no room to move.
That yellow RS4 looks great. Summons some of the “old school” Audi-ness
Have you been that low before? I was at 24.5" ground to the top of the fender and that was dangerous. I’d guess that car is another 1/4"-1/2" lower than that. Looks great but you can mess your car up pretty quickly. I had to replace my sway bar links 2 times and was lucky to not rip my oil pan off on a manhole cover in downtown Chicago. Im at 25-1/8" right now. Doesn’t look as good but I don’t have a heart attack driving everyday either.
I feel like anything lower than 25.75 is crazy, at least on an RS4 with factory wheels/tire.
ya I agree with that. I just went out and took a quick measurement, oil pan to ground is only 4.5" i couldn’t go any lower and keep my sanity.
What does that put your oil pan at?
What are your fenders at?

Go! Haha
I’m gonna measure what my oil pan is at now out of curiosity.
That seems high.
I am at 25.125" and that seems about right with 18x9 wheels with 265 tires. Mind you it is a S4 and not a RS4.
Oh nice, I’m at the same height.
Just measured and the oil pan height for mine and it’s about 5.25" from the ground.

I said parked. I will p’bly drive around a little higher than that unless there is snow. I will go Bigfoot style then…
Oh sorry, I guess I missed that last word haha. Didn’t realize you are/are going to be on air ride suspension.
Can you go any higher?
I am maxed out in the back and the front can go up about a half an inch farther.
