I have been wanting to do the spacers too - can't stand how much the rear tires stick "in" the wheel well. Are the 20" S-line wheels the same width as the stock 19's? If they are wider, I will probably need to get a thicker spacer to get them pushed out like yours are.

Do you have a picture of the fronts with spacers, wheels parralel with the Q?

Not currently, but I will get out and take a few pictures of the fronts with the spacers.

My understanding is that the width of the S-Line and Non S-line are the same.

I installed the springs myself. There is a step by step write up posted re: spring installation of an A4 that I followed seeing that the suspension is pretty much the same. Anyway, it took the better part of a day with air tools, so plan accordingly

The following are rough estimates:

Springs - $250
Spacers (Front) - $100
Spacers (Rear) - $100

I believe the drop is somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5" - 1.6"

I think the rear drop is 1.6" and front is 1.5"
