Question TT suspension "sag" in rear?

I've noticed that stock TT's look like they sag in the rear. Is this just from the weight of the engine, or something else? Is it normal?

The front end is really light (nothing there) and the back end is heavy (engine) this offset causes the shocks in the back to wear out faster causing the "sag" look

Yeps you are right... Just so you know the stock US suspension is pretty weak. My shocks were shot after 11K miles....

Would the shocks be covered under factory warranty, or do they consider them a wear item. Thanks.

Just another reason to switch to an aftermarket suspension!! After all, you always have to look at the bright side of things.

Yes the Turbo has a tendency to sag in the back. When I had the PSS9s installed the tech kept about 10-20mm in the back to offset this sag as the springs set and wore down.

I don't think that just the TT's have them... I have seen a couple C4S's with that problem also
