FTG coilover adjusment and spacers

[BR11S4]

I have a 2011 S4 with 19" peelers. Have solowerks s1 kit. I need to adjust rode height and looking for suggestions. Its 25 1/4" to 25.5" ftg but it is uneven all round. I need to find a level spot to measure. I can fit my index between only 2 of 4 wheels. I rub on riverside when making a left turn and hit a bump. Also run occassionally passenger rear. These are two corners that are a little lower.

Looking at new rims or spacer kit from ecs 8mm/12.5.

What size rims would be flush without spacers on 19" rim.

What would be a good height to run with ecs flush spacers? 26" FTG?? Suggestions much appreciated!145521

I am having trouble adjusting mine too, I can’t seems to get the rear to have the same height, the passenger rear always lower.

For your reference, I am running around 26.2 FTG with 19x9.5 M590 with 255/35/19 A/S 3+ with very minimal rubbing in the back.

My passenger rear is lower and rubs. Driver front too. Maddening. I am having shop do it Thursday morning. I'm thinking 26" ftg all way around.

Question leave stock, add spacers or new wheels...humm. my peelers arent in great shape, def need refinished.

Just keep in mind adding spacers just means more rubbing during turn for the fronts. 26ftg is a good place to start. I'm currently on stock peelers with Solo-Werks at 25.5 ftg in the front and 25.75 rear. No rubbing in the rear but the fronts rub on dips while turning. I'm thinking about raising it to 26 all around.

Whatever FTG you decide, I like a little forward rake. 1/2" higher in rear.

Also make sure you put driver weight in the drivers seat. Friend, wife, or weights on the floor mat like I did. 1/2 tank of gas.

You'd be surprised how much the driver and gas weights change height. And settling. At some point, you just have to give up and be happy with it...likely raised higher than you want to limit the rubs and better handling / balance especially from the rear.

Thanks. I was thinking raising rear a little higher. It as at 26" ftg all around before they settled.

I liked that height.

what FTG did you end up going with? installed my coils a week ago, measured 26" fronts, 26.25" rear. driven about 400 miles since then (way more than normal), so not sure if they will settle any more. need to find out where they are at now.

25.5 on stock Peelers. Found some S5 rotors that I liked and had to raise it to 26" ftg. S5 rotors are 19x9 and rubbed back.

This spring I an probably buying Bilstein B12 kit. I dint like the ride unless roads are really smooth (not often in Ohio) and they are noise.
