The rear I dropped 10mm setting 3 but after a run the rear has settled too low.
Ride is better than stock on 3 and the front adjustment is very easy but the rears more difficult.

I would have said the rears are easier to adjust the rebound setting dial and the fronts are more difficult as you can't really see what you are setting them to whereas on the rears you can see the red dot marker. Seemingly until a year or so ago Bilsteins never had marker points at all, pure guesswork!

Been out this morning and raised the rear 10mm which has put it back to my original 10mm drop.
When it had settled it was 20mm lower!
Just need to find some 8mm h&r hubcentric spacers at a decent price.

Pretty sure this was the part number of the ones I had on my S3. They should be same fitment 5x112 and 57.1 bore although it does say on that advert no centre alignment.
I'll keep you posted.

I have 10mm hubcentric spacers front and rear. Ideally I would like 5mm at the rear and lower it another 5mm but 10mm is the smallest hubcentric I could find

I've messaged Damian to see if they fit the RS3 as they're only listed for A3/S3
Wheel fitment is the same so can't see why not.
I'm sure when I researched last time H&R were the only ones to make a 8mm hubcentric

Looking good pal, I'd lower the front 5 m, I don't think it would affect ride with the bilsteins, as your on a soft setting
5m might be a little too much Sonny, but I get your drift
