Safe lowering 51 plate s3?

[scotty_24]

Hello,

Im looking to lower my new (well new to me) S3.
I had a 6n2 polo before the s3 and that was extremley low on coilovers.
Im new to this quattro stuff, whats a safe drop?
Considering springs or coilovers, I prefer coilovers as you can get the stance spot on.

Cheers guys, awesome forum! Leanred lots of stuff about my new car

Ive got a 50mm drop on kw coilovers and it goes over speedbumps ok

Sweet cheers for the quick reply.
Im looking at getting coilovers really as I can set them to what I like.
Do you need shorter drop links? No issues with camber or driveshaft rubbing?

drop links are not requiered, drive shaft rubbing is an a3 issue, camber will be a problem on the rears you will ideally need adjustable bars, if going low -15mm, but some dont bother and change the tyers more frequently....
