After letting the car settle on the new suspension i took Jonnys advise and dropped her some more but to my suprise i actually had to lift front a tad as it was catching on the arch lots..! what do you think?
How low can you go?? Pics of car sat just right

Looks mint mate - have you got spacers on it - looks like the wheels need pusing out a touch to get the arches filled.
Nice car mate.

10mm at each wheel is perfectly safe - that's what I run with a 25mm drop in height. Though I guess if the offset is different on your wheel it maybe different in your case.
Some people have tried 15mm each side on the back, which does look a bit better, but I think most people have had to modify the arch to get away with it.
If you do a search under L60N's posts he posted one with pic's of his with 15mm on his rear wheels and I added pic's of mine with 10mm all round. Should give you an idea of what to expect.

Lol sold the car a few months back .Madalex think yours sits nice.. im really liking the black S3 at the moment ... fancy a swap
Got a suzuka grey facelift comming novemeber : D
SHall b joining u n jonny with the whole white n black theme
Guys with the S3 did you just bang some coilovers on and slam it? Did you need drop links or anything?
I was told that dropping it more than 25mm on a Quattro would cause problems so drop links would be needed.

I would put up pictures of mine, but its not sat right, I will do next year. It'll be perfect then.
Think I have asked this already but what coils have you got? Kw's I know but which version?
So ****** that yours car go lower than mine, I specifically asked KW if all of the variants had the same lowering capabilities and they said yes, arrrrrrrghhhh!

You will never get away with 20mm!!
15mm rubs without modifying the arch, even if no one in the rear sometimes...
10mm to be certain of no rubbing.
10/12 is guaranteed to not rub, 20 as Jam says no way forget as I tried from my old S4 B6 spacers, 15mm still wouldnt recommend as they will rub to at some stage & if you value your tyres, been investigating rolling the arches today, can be done but pot luck if u get creases or paint cracks which can be fixed, I'm ok with that as doing paintwork anyway so might try fronts 1st, then me 20's will fit fine

I feel the same as Teejay as I would like some space between the tyre and the arch.
However, the "white car, black Rims" combo is great!
