I have standard S3 alloys with HR springs and 15mm rear spacers.
I get occasional rubbing over large fast bumps. Even when 4 up its only occasional. I've also removed the said screw.
Personally I'd go 12mm if buying again.
Tyre type also make a difference depending on the shape of the...
I bought a Milltek non res cat back system and fitted it today.
Sound is spot on, just what i wanted and so much better than i anticipated.
There is a nice deep note on start up which rises when revved. Under load it sounds awesome, very addictive.
Youtube vids dont do this system justice.
I shouldn't have mentioned the R32 as it's clouding my original question.

I have always preferred a bit of throatyness to my cars. The last one being a Mk5 R32 with non res Milltek. In a word.......Epic!
My S3 sounds pants and while I would like a full BCS system £1200 is a non starter.

I would recommend 10 or 12 on the rear, not 15.
The front is standard.
