Cool
How much did you drop it by and have you experienced any issues or problems with some of the radar controlled features on the car?

I know it isn't the cheap VCDS way, but much easier and much more controle with an additional controle unit.
http://www.active-sound.eu/en/audi/audi ... suspension
Plug and plug into the CAN bus, easy setup and controle over the ride height through wifi app, adjustable in any mode (comfort-auto-dynamic), works on the flow, showmode (all the way down), not limited to the stock +-17mm vcds lowering....
Just saying, not cheap but cheaper then the H&R module and more flexible.
I read some in the US even got it as low as 885€ shipped. Maybe groupbuys possible

Not really noticable but when I went to fit spacers on the front I noticed some wear marks on the inner wing.

Well honestly, i have been in contact with CETE and they grated me a groupbuy (a very decent price discount at 10 users) but i needed to fill in a groupbuy request on the site (don't see issues in that). Wanted to wait on news of 2 other forums, but no news of them yet (one of them recently got a forum sponsored seller suppling the US market now, but imho at very high price).
For me there is no hurry in it....if i know we had 10 buyers very soon, i might push further
