    yeah it'd probably work as a door stop

    Here you go, they are used on leaf springs.. not much good to any vehicle that has suspension designed after the 1st world war.

        Those are for shimming a solid axle & leaf spring assembly to get proper driveshaft to universal joint angle. There is no place on any modern audi where these will be useful.
        Here is a better description. http://www.ingallseng.com/leaf-spring-wedges/
        They do have parts for VAG cars though.
        Here is something to consider when changing suspension angles. Lower ball joint extenders. http://www.pmwltd.com/index.php. Helps to correct camber change during suspension travel with a lowered vehicle.

          I have shortened steering arms on my 80 Competition for more and faster steering... you should see what this does on full lock Don't worry, it's normal with our ackermann angle...
