I don't think he is a forum Sponsor but still the best place to get them from.

Sorry chaps thanks for all the replies I had notifications turned off and didn't see the replies.

I'll send some pm's :)

What sizes are recommended for 21's? I won't be lowering.

You can do 15mm without lowering. Reckon you should go down at least 20mm though or it might look a bit odd!

I've recently put H&R 15mm on rear and 10mm on front.

Running on air with 21" original Audi rims and the fronts rub on the screw at the top, inside of the arch when going through dips in the road.

Bloody annoying because they look fantastic. Rears seem to be fine though.

Remove the screw, it doesn't do a great deal.

What is recommended for front and rear when also lowering 20mm?

@j66kco what size are your wheels if your lowering 20mm? I'm looking to lower mine running on 21".

Ideally if I lower 20mm what size spacers work best?

I am lowered by 40mm and run 15mm at the rear with no issues.

I cannot run a spacer at the front as it rubs without any fitted.

However, I think what others have done is to be treated as a rough guide as some cars sit at different angles / heights with the same springs on ie. Mine and a other MY2016 PE has more rake on 40mm springs than a MY2015 car. Not sure if the difference is due to MY changes or whether the PE sits differently.

I'm running on 21" too, and looking to lower 20mm.
Mike as answered the question for rear with 15mm spacers being fine. Unsure if 10mm on the front would catch with it being lowered 20mm and not 40mm like him. Also mine is not the PE so unsure if that makes a difference.
