Not sure of what the measurement is/was but it's been adjusted up a little to give some more clearance.. I'll find out tomorrow.
I've got some pics (pain to upload on here and only in my mobile) and tbh it looks low enough and well balanced. Always difficult to get right with the RS3 due to the larger arches at the front than the rear..

How much more drop when it's settled have you guys experienced?

 

Checked mine the other day and they haven't dropped at all. Still at the 640mm when I installed them just over a month ago.

Have you got any pics? Interested to know how others have set the ride height/look of car?
Due to the wider front arches, imo if you set the arch gaps the same the car is too pitched forward/nose down when looking at the sill but a lot seem to go that way as it does look good

Mine does look a lot lower in person, you can't put your finger between the arch and tyre, the floor may have been uneven in this pic 🤔

Any idea what the floor to arch measurement is Matt?

 

JayRS3 told me he is running his at 630mm but getting some rubbing when having a passenger in the car. I'm running at 640mm with the standard 8J Rotors with 235 section's and no rubbing.

 

I recollect someone on here trimmed the spoiler tabs off of the arch to stop the rubbing. Cant remember if it was Booker or Nobber!

 

'Twas Booker Duke! I had three rear seat passengers for a short distance a couple of weeks ago and noticed slight rubbing on bumps and sharp dips, but this loading happens so rarely I don't plan to make any adjustments to the rear height

I love those wheels Sonny! Is your car back in the showroom now?

[Sonnybo55]

Thanks mate, and no not back 😂 left it at the detailers been there since aitp, will probably be after Christmas now, pop over anyway 👍

[Sonnybo55]

Love the colour on your wheels by the way, really sets it off against the alu pack, in your other pics obviously 🙄 😬

Thanks Guys.. Booker, i think the rear height on mine is now very similar to yours.

Heres a pic (not the greatest) of the final set up last night, how do you think it looks? It corner balanced perfectly

Perfect stance right there 👍👍

[Sonnybo55]

Where did you get it corner balanced Matt

[Mattjj82]

Volkscraft at Exeter are doing the work, been really impressed with them and nothing seems to be too much trouble..

a lot of people don't bother with corner balancing but if its a daily driver and like the odd bit of track time it can make a big difference to how the car feels.

You'd be able to find someone near you but probably wouldn't be warranted unless you're going to get it out the showroom 

[Sonnybo55]

I won't bother with the rs then 😉😂

The Kw coilovers are ok but I want the car bit more lower then it is now. Can't lower the kw any more and to me it's not that low lol

 

I have the exact same sentiments. Have the KW V3s & they not nearly as low as I'd liked!!! All round drive/handling is Superb!!!! -but if its stance you after the KW V3s wont be the answer

Looks superb Matt - how it should come from the factory in my opinion

Matt is there still more adjustment available for the front?

I'll post a pic at the weekend when I can get a pic in daylight. Currently pitch black when I leave for work and by the time I get home.

Yes there's a bit more adjustment left on the front.. Ended up bringing it up 5mm so it would balance the car better after raising the rear.
The difference it makes to the drive is unreal.. Currently on settings 4 front, 2 rear and it's so complaint yet handles so well! Better turn in and much more responsive..
Will let it properly bed in for a bit then have a play with the settings

[Sonnybo55]

I've set mine to 7 all round haven't pushed hard yet but I'm happy with the ride, I'll make adjustments in the summer 👍

Is there much difference between bilstein B14 and B16's ? Except about £600

Bump and rebound adjustment
