As far as i know when you lower the car you have to use modified droplinks on the front as they cause the arb to foul the driveshaft as in your case.
No such problem on the s3 as its way out of the way. Yours are plastic IIRC. Check with the company from where you got the suspension kit from or try Awesome gti in warrington.
i may be wrong, but im sure others who have lowered their non quattro cars should be to advise better.
