Check my picture poster
There's a picture of my old S8 w/ the coilovers on it right after installation. It actually settled even lower after a few months, but the front is adjustable and you could probably get thicker spring pads for the rear to raise it if needed.

Thanks. Should be about $1600.
I paid a bit less since when I got mine, they weren't in demand (not that they're selling like hotcakes now) and the vendor was looking to get rid of the set.<ul><li><a href="http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=29974-1..1">http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/detail.asp?PRODUCT_ID=29974-1..1</a</li></ul>

Tirerack.com has them for about $1460
I paid just a few dollars less than that when I bought mine. They lower the front about 1.75" and the rears about 1.25".....just perfect if you ask me.

One question though
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/34752/dsc01858.jpg"></center><p>With my exhaust that i have on it now one piece is lower than the rest of the car by an inch. It is the new piece in the pictures. This is about a foot behind the front wheel. At the moment i have hit it once on very large steep speedbump near the local starbucks. If i get H&R's this is going to hit more often which would be a definit bad thing. any suggestions?

Since you have three mufflers plus the cats in series ...
How about just replacing that first muffler with a crossover H pipe? For not much money, you should be able to fabricate a drop-in piece to replace the first muffler, and if it's too loud, well ... go to Plan B. I'd suggest replacing the muffler with just two straight thru pipes, except that I believe a cross-over in that location helps improve the exhaust note/tone.

Shouldn't be a big problem
My front end will scrape when going up/down a steep driveway if I'm not careful, but never had a problem with the rear end or anything under the car except the lower front straight control arm going into automatic car washes that are screwed up, it bumps going over the arm for a moment.
You'd probably have more problems with the front end then then the exhaust....oh but you would love them!
