I have these coils and yes, the fronts will put your frame on the ground. However, the rears are a totally different story. I can barely get a decent tuck in the rears with them maxed out. I've heard that if you remove the adjustment perches you maybe able to get another 1/2 inch or so. Any of you guys have this problem?

I have KWs which are basically the same as the STs.. Yes I had that problem with the rears so I did take out the rear perch rings. No problems/noises what so ever to report I just need to lower the front some more

Sweet stance! Love the wheels too man.

Here's the lowest I could get my ST's to go in the rear and how the car sits currently.

Might have to look into removing the perch.

Will someone please post pictures of the rear setup. I have these on my B6 S4(basically the same setup) and the rears dont go as low as I wanted. I have about a 1 finger gap between teh wheel and fender, in the rear. The front is no issue. Im just wondering how the coil can stay in place without a rear perch.

I have no close up pics of the rear right now but I have just about a 1/2 finger gap as well. You dont remove the entire perch, just the adjustment perch/ring.

Uff dunno what to do .. I was ready to pull out a trigger on those but this thread confused me with these noises and the rears that are not low enough .. Is it worth it getting the kw instead? Or stasis?

I don't have any noise issues but I can tell you from experience that you won't be happy with the rear if you plan on going really low. I haven't tried removing the adjusment perch yet but I can't imagine that it would give you anymore than 1/4 of an inch. Swapping out the spring with another aftermarket set would probably be your best bet.

How is the stiffness on this ride? I have to ride with people in the back at times with 18x9.5 et 35 but want stanced ride, does it sag enough to start rubbing?

Stiffer than stock but nowhere near uncomfortable IMO. If you load the car with people, it will sag a bit and depending on how low you are, it may cause you to rub.
