Yep, I have the support brackets too and had my car set-up at Wheels-in-motion. As Olly says, the geo set-up is essential to get the best out of the car.
The last time I was at Bedford Autodrome it was wet in the morning and the car was actually oversteering quite nicely - amazing for an Audi!

Not at all. There is no camber adjustment on the front so the lower you go the more camber you introduce on the front wheels. I actually asked Chris to set the ride heights to be speed hump friendly and even with that done the front cambers were still a little over the recommended OEM range (ie more negative) on the front, and so the rears were matched to the fronts to create neutrality across the chassis.rhunter203 wrote:By how much has your car been lowered?

Am thinking of going down your route...

If you want to go lower you can, and still adjust the rear camber to match the fronts, but you risk premature tyre wear. The solution is adjustable links on the front, like for example the ones from Stern, which do allow camber adjustment, but as I mentioned I wanted a speed hump friendly car.
My advice would be go for it
