Yea I have to deal with a ton of steep driveways and if I just come at them slow on a angle I can clear them all. Haha if you raise your car though post pics and you can call it a Muunster Truck

Find some way to custom rig allroad suspension on your A6, you could raise it when going up steep curbs/ speed bumps, and slam it the rest of the time

Yea, I never go at it straight and the Allroad suggestion would likely cost more then the car is worth.

I think my next car should have height mode option, for now I'll live with it.

thanks for the tips.

my A6 is lowered as low if not lower then oc_audica's and I hate it too, I was going to see an apt to rent and I ended up making it half way into the apt complex when I saw a bump i KNEW i would not ever make over and so **** like this pisses me off, car telling me where i can live and whatnot **** anyways, as soon as I have more money to get coilovers i will and it will be about an 1" higher then it is right now, just hate bottoming out when i still turn my wheels completely and come from an angle, but it's nice having a LOW car it looks nice, i have koni shocks and Blistein race springs..i think the car is lowered something like 3 inches overall i got the car this way...so gotta live wit' it
