Default Looking for some advice on suspension

I have a 2014 A7 TDI. I really want to get rid of that ugly gap between wheel and fender. I was thinking about ABT because I was told they retain a very good ride but I need more drop of about 1.25 to 1.5 inches. I do have the sport 20's which will help a little but I like the fender to just sit over the top of the tires. Which Springs would you recommend to give me a nice drop while trying to preserve somewhat of a comfortable ride?

I am not sure what you are trying to do though.. My 2016 Audi A7 3.0T and my 2014 Audi A6 TDI have both sports package and 20 inch rims and I have barely an inch or so of wheel gap in front. Its too hard to lower it more and it will compromise the ride balance. I have lowered cars before in the past and the compromise varies and its a pain sometimes. Do you have a side view pic of your car for me to see?

Maybe these H&E springs will help. Lowers about 1.4 inches. It may be a bit firmer than our sports springs but it should still be comfortable.
