I've got b14s fitted, the rear is on the lowest setting but I can't decide if I should raise it a small amount so level with the front or drop the front to match.
What do you all think?

That looks nice, I like the black wheels. Looks bad ass.. Are you running spacers? If you are I'd think you're going to get rubbing if you go lower..

I'd say lower on the front but you'll be scrapping the bottom of the car on speed humps.

B14 don't like going too low, they tend to creek and moan.

Mike do you run any spacers up front?

No spacers at all. The RS5 wheels have ET26 so effectively spaced out 3mm compared to OEM wheels.

No room for spacers, especially in the rear:

personally i would raise the rear to match the front as too low is not a good look, front is about perfect for looks and practicality.
