The suspension is infinitely adjustable and I raise the car when I drive so the wheels aren't tucking. I can drive it all the way down like that, but to risk shelling out $1200 for a new upper and lower oilpan would be rather foolish. Broken axles wouldn't affect rideheight, so your comparison there is incorrect.
have a (static) pic with the wheels all the way up?

very NICE!! love the wheels and the grill. I am not myself a big fan of top of wheels hidden in the wheel well, but the car looks outstanding. Where did u get the S6 grill from? part #? what kind of suspension?

These were shot with my Nikon D300 looking through a Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 lens. I had a Cokin-P system filter stage holding one ND4, Graduated Grey and Graduated Tobacco filter.
The car can move forwards and backwards and I can turn the steering wheel about 90 degrees, but I don't dare drive down that low- God only knows what would happen. I'll post a picture of the suspension raised all the way. It does look odd up that high as I'm wearing 235/30/20 Falken 452 Tires. My normal rideheight is about an inch from wheel to fender.
Thanks 
The tucked wheel look isn't for everybody- you wouln't believe how many "your car is broken" comments I've received from neighbors already! I purchased the grille from member "dporschey" here on AW- I'll try and dig up a part # for you.

+1 on not liking the look when the wheels are stuffed up into the wheel well.
It looks... like your axels broke.
Can you even drive it like that?
And why would you?
In fact, I'm not a fan of 20" wheels on A6 in general... they look out of proportion to me.. a little comical.
But, hey, that's my preference. I'm sure there are plenty that dig that look.
Beautiful photography though.... very nicely done.

Very nice ride...
I myself have a set of 20x9 MRR wheels (HR-6).. 255/30/20
But, just dropped with H&R's
I will post pictures soon...
I too have your color combination...
(put a smile on my face)
Gave me a very good idea of what my car will look like when I slap the wheels on...
Cheers my friend!
Hats off to the ride..
Camera/PC work is on point too!

mikegilbert...........love what you've done! I personally like seeing a car slammed while it's parked. That extra aesthetic.
am ver.........check elementwheels.com. They have a good selection, free shipping, and they were really helpful with fitment. As a matter of fact, they had just worked on a C6 when I ordered mine so this dude name Robert was right on point when talking about what will/won't work ie. size, drop, etc.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions but I think it really detracts from the car when its totally lowered. Not my look at all.
As long as you love it then it's all that really matters.
