So, what's the preference out there... staggered front to rear, or all spaced out the same?

On another thread on spacers a poster cautioned that with the front wheels spaced out 10-15mm that there would be significantly more dirt spray down the side of car. Is that a valid concern? Any experience with that?

I am currently running H&R 20mm spacers on my BO rims. I used to have lowering links installed that lowered the car 15mm but the car kept rubbing on certain bumps and corners. They also rubbed more with my 19in winter sets on Michelin Pilot Alpin's surprisingly. The links also caused air suspension and head light leveling warning lights to come on so I ended up just removing the links. I have no rub or issues now just running the 20mm spacers. It is also not recommended to run a staggered set up on Audi's Quattro system whether it be tires or spacers.

I run 17.5mm in the front and & 20mm in the rear. I have done the VAG-COM drop and I rub in the front in very rare occasions when coming down a sharp hill like in a parking garage and a higher speed while turning at the same time.
