Looks great. I need to lower mine asap. The goofy US ride height bothers me on a daily basis.

Default Sport Springs or Complete Coilovers

I really want to drop my SQ5 to the same height. My question is; did you change out the springs only or install complete new coilovers?

That's the stance I would like. Love the color, a neighbor has a Q in that shade. I see that you, like my wife and me, are a Porsche/Audi couple. Hers is a 2011 Carrera S cab, CPO from a local Bay Area dealer.

Default 👍👍 Fairing?

Looks Great!! Love the color too! What fairing did you use? And what size?

ECS 20mm Spacers on factory 21's front/rear. Also tossed on my roof rails with bike rack and fairing.

Just did this to my SQ5 and it looks great, thanks for all of the info. However, make sure you have the correct hardware when mounting the wheel to the spacer. The stock bolts will be to long and either need to be shaved or replaced with the correct ones. Cheers!
