So you currently have s-line suspension? (That should be 30mm lowered from stock)
Also, what size tires do you have?

Eibach Sportline .

S-Line is around 15/20mm lowered from factory so the Eibach 45mm/35mm Sportline lowering springs will give you around a further 25/30mm drop at the front and 15/20mm drop at the rear which shouldn't cause any problems.

From the Audi site:

Sports suspension 20mm lower than standard with stiffer spring and damper tuning for more direct contact with the road and sportier handling (S line Sports suspension 30mm lower than standard – available in lieu of Sports suspension at no charge).

Going off real life measurements on the new B8 models we're found that it's more like Sport 10/15mm and S-line 15/20mm from standard factory height.

My S-Line only just clears kerbs around the edge of carparks, so if it's any lower she will knock off the splitter.

To be fair i dont drive the car that much my girlfriend uses it most and every time i look at it its parked on a kerb and today i moved it flat to measure the space between the arches and the tyres and had only 30mm so i think lowering it another 20mm would probably end in tears so il space the wheels out more and go from there i think

The Eibach Pro kit may be a better option for your which is a much more subtle drop.

Is there a way of finding out whether you have sports or s line sports suspension without taking the wheels off as I don't have a clue what's on mine?

What model is your car?
SE will have SE suspension.
Sport will have Sport suspension
S-line will have S-line suspension.

The only difference to this rule is any of the above cars fitted with ADS adjustable dampers. These will have sport springs

It's an s line and I've never heard of a sport model so that is why, cheers.
