Front and rear the same


Rear lowered more than front


Same as above but lower



How should i get the audi sitting? Does the 3rd shop look like it is possible at all?

3rd is possible, the rear wheel won't sit centrally in the arch though and you'll have to notch the chassis leg to clear the driveshaft on one side.

Rear lower than back always looks wank, don't do it.

Top one, maybe a little lower, get some DECENT coilovers and decide the height yourself.

3rd, but you'll need to change the front ARB to do that otherwise you'll contact with the driveshafts - fun!!

Actually I change my vote to option 1, far more realistic ride height & you shouldnt run into any problems, its probably closest to my ride height.

The rear in pic 3 looks like mine when ive got 3 passengers in the back. Front youd need a different ARB & maybe even then wouldnt get it that low!!

I was going to say 3rd looks the tits, but it looks undriveable.

My mates S3:



And that is bad enough to drive!
