Hey guys, Eric here again.

On the Audi TT, what is the clearance? Does it vary from year to year? I'm going for the 2000 TT.

Since I live in CO, I wanted to make sure that its not too low to get damaged to absorb a lot of the salt thats on our roads (degredation of parts, ect).

Someone stop me if I'm stupid here however though, I know the ride height can be adjusted by clipping your springs? If anyone owns a 2000 TT, do you like the clearance? Is it low? Medium?

Thanks guys

Eric

 

go look at oneclip the springs hit a bump and they will fall down....you want it lower buy new springs dont cheat and clip things...its the same height as a normal car...????

 

my 2000 looks like a monster struck....*sarcasm* but its pretty med to high..i plan on getting full koni's when i get some rims.

 

It's either 4 or 6 inches of ground clearance. Although I believe it's closer to 4 inches.
I'm originally from NY and drive a 2000 180 quattro. No problems last winter, although I did do a little bit of snow plowing with the TT.
Handles great in the snow, and I did not get stuck anywhere.

You can lower the TT by getting lowering springs or coil overs. Personally I wouldn't clip them, because it leaves more room for error.
I had no problems with the stock ride height, it was the wheel gap that bothered me.
Then a broken spring made it easy to upgrade my whole suspension.

 

Ground clearance wise you'll be fine. I don't really scrape anywhere on my stock suspension.

Also the TT has a belly pan which keeps the salt out somewhat.

 

the stock suspension is high enough to go offroading.
It's 4.4 inches, but if you put an nice set of 18' wheel on her, she looks like a 4X4.

that's why i'm getting coilovers this summer! whee...

 

I have a '01 with stock suspension,the belly pan plowed a bit last night driving through about 6" of powder on the roads. With decent all-season tires it does quite well as long as you keep out of the upper rpm range and away from boost over 5 psi or so.
