Audi A6 Ground Clearance

Ground clearance (also famous as Ride height) calculates the area from the minimum spot of the vehicle’s undercarriage and the mark of the tires’ contact with the level surface. Still, the manufacturer of the model might apply slight tricks to the common measure to claim attractive number meaning the legit distance from the shock absorbers, the engine oil pan or the muffler to the track is lesser than specified in the formal characteristics.

It is no wonder cause efficient people seek an enlarged ground clearance to eradicate trouble when parking near the bumps or getting through the rugged area. The true ride height of the model varies from 107 to 190 mm based on the year of production and trim. Take into account that a well- laden auto will beyond doubt drop by about 1 inch of ground clearance.

Luckily, the model ground clearance can be uplifted with the help of spacers for shock absorbers to make the car rest higher off the ground. While making a higher model, you sacrifice a fraction of the original balance and flexibility in angled turns. Contrarily model ground clearance can be trimmed in order to get enhanced handling and stability.

There a number of ways to increase ground clearance. When it comes to lifting or lowering your Audi A6 you can choose between bigger tires, a leveling kit, coil spring assisters, coilovers, airlift suspension, suspension lifts, etc.
