Yes it does. I can't find the air fitting for it though. I'm not sure how it's activated. Just got these in today.

edit.. Think I found it. There is a small threaded hole on the bottom of the strut. The nipple is missing. I guess they forgot to put it on. Simple fix.

Yes solid tires. Just under 5". I believe http://www.intairco.net/ makes these in Austrailia.

very cool.. don´t know if it is true or not, but heard that the full size ones where designed to extend by gravity and air pressure in case of a hydraulic failure, so no backup system would be needed helping the A4 be smaller and lighter..


maybe this would apply to certain extent to yours.
