I checked with HPA on the KW's. They will lower the car an additional 20mm from the Sport Suspension height. HPA suggested checking to see if Bilstein (or others) have a strut only (keep the Audi Sport springs). Any thoughts?

check and see what your current hight is..ground to fender front and back...then we can compare notes...i didn't get a chance to measure this before the suspension was installed.

I did the same thing. Didn't measure before installing an Abt kit (H&R/Bilstein). Problem is I'm too low now. This is compounded by the fact that I have an MTM exhaust and the larger pipes take up even more clearance. I have a friend with a stock 2.7T Sport Suspension. I will measure his this weekend and post here.

that's the main reason i didn't go w/ the abt kit...looked too low especially w/ my set up, i'd def rub in front. W/ the kw's i think i can go up to stock sport hight..
