I've got PSS10's installed in my S3 Sportback with the fronts wound down all the way and the rear's just a little higher.
I love the look but the scrapping (and sometimes rubbing) is starting to wear very thin.
In most situations, I can get in and out of a drive/over a bump without scraping the front but the problem lies in the middle of the car.
There appears to be a "fin" as part of the underbody tray on both sides, around the middle of the car. These "fins" scrape on a lot of speed bumps, drives, etc and it's time for me to wind the car back up a bit.
The other reason for wanting to come up a bit is that the front is super hard as the springs are wound down to maximum, it is beginning to annoy my girlfriend and make her feel nauseous (long term girlfriend, she's not going anywhere).
I'm looking for advice and measurements of how high I should have my suspension which still looks good but removes any scraping over these underbody fins and most of the front scrapes (understood that some maneuverings will still be required over certain humps).
If someone with this desired set up (looks and no scraping) on their S3 or A3 with 18" wheels could please measure their distance from middle of the hub to the bottom of the wheel arch, that would be great!
Thanks in advance.
