H&R Coilovers installed while back home in Seattle. Maybe sitting a bit too low now?

Yeah, too low, but looks nice! I'd raise it about 1/2" and go from there. As for multiple pics...
on the same page...

etc.
Copy/paste link inside quotes. And that's the end of night class at local CC.

looks good but the slightest bumps and dips start to become a headache after awhile.
i love my S4 lowered but i have to go over speed bumps, driveways, railway tracks daily and at a very slow angle so my Millteks and wheel wells don't get slammed.
Also having a lowered car means stiffer ride and more frequent trips Technical Dimensions (local repair shop) to replace control arms. at least for me.

Maybe my sig pic can shed light on ride height.
This was after an Ohlins SL install a year ago and measured 25 1/8" fender to ground and the tires rubbed the inner liner on full lock when encountering driveway bumps, etc.. I'm running 245/40-18 Dunlop Z1's which are almost 10" wide. I adjusted the height to 25 5/8 and have no clearance issues since. fwiw

Send me an email, partner...
I think we may have more in common than you think. I have a double garage, about 8-10K in tools-----full air, my own mill, full welding gear, almost everything---just don't have a lift. And I must admit: on something like this, it does help a great deal.
Am looking seriously at one of those semi-portable scissor lifts now. Cost about a grand, gets the car up to 50" off the ground, which is plenty.
What part of Seattle are you from originally? Email me...

car looks great! hike er up a bit and fix the rubbing, the wheels look perfect on this car...
Lowered car, punchy exhaust and tints makes it nearly impossible to drive home hammered from happy hour ...not that you would do that Any chance that your rubbing on the inner fender well screw? It can easily removed and doesnt affect anything. The drivers side is notorious for rubbing
