Hi I Have A 2000 B5 S4 With 18x8.5 Up Front & 18x9.5 In The Back. What Would Be The Best Way To Lower The Vehicle (springs Or Coilovers & What Brand) Considering The Rear Wheels Are So Close To The Fender. And Do Any One Out There Have The Same Wheel Set Please Post Pictures. Thanks

What size tires are you running? You might not have too many options, since you're going to rub with almost anything you try.

Pretty bad choice in tires to be honest for a quattro vehicle. You aren't going to lower that car much at all with that wide rear tire without rubbing.

I agree with Mike, you want to match the front & rear tire diameter, if not it's going to throw off the Quattro system & make the car understeer way more then stock, & that is just not safe.
Most likely you will either need to roll the fender or not go that low. Do to the fact you might need to change the ride height, I would suggest coil overs.
We are having a group buy on our Votgland GT coil over set, it will allow you to get the drop you want, but it may rub, even if you roll the fenders.
