If this is true, it makes a lot of sense that Audi implemented the speed limitations. I hadn't heard or read about this aspect before. Thanks for the insight.

402 mod = 167 rim mod = ??? ground to fender
a) double spoke = 167 (based on 470mm wheel rim diameter). What would be the number for the 'standard' wheel?
b) what is 'standard' Ground to Fender (GTO) distance?
b) what is 'standard' Ground to Fender (GTO) distance?
In my case with the allroad's double spoke wheels, the rim diameter is 470mm. Half that is 235mm. So the distance from the top edge of the wheel rim to the fender edge should be 167mm to get the standard 402mm setting. (IN LEVEL 2)
I place the end of my tape measure on the top edge of the wheel rim and note the distance to the highest point on the fender arch edge. For example, if the distance from the wheel rim to the fender is 160 mm, I add that number to the radius of the wheel rim (235 mm) and get a height of 395 mm. It is the 395 mm which would be programmed in the "402 Mod" to get the car back to the standard specs.

The problem with running at a higher speed with the suspension at, say level 4, is that the CV axles we're meant be at such an extreme angle. The CVs were designed for a compromise of high speed low setting and a low speed high setting.
I've been thinking of have some suspension spacers made that will be on top of the air springs. This will allow a higher ride height but without such a sever CV angle. Basically making Level 1 a Level 2 and making Level 4 higher.

It does not matter how you lift the body of car (spacers, airbags, etc.). As long as your wheels stay on the ground, the CV angles will always be the same. Unless you drop the gear box while lifting the body.
