You could do it the way I did my first car. Hack saw... True story.
Honestly I would like to lower mine although I don't want to sacrifice ride quality and I'm not sure that is possible.

He's running the 034 Motorsport springs. I ordered a set of those too yesterday (they had a 10% off sale). They do not currently have actual springs for the S5, but the A4/S4 springs will fit since they have the same platform. Only Eibach and H&R have springs in their catalogs that are actually for the B9 S5. Coincidentally, the one in the Eibach application guide for the 2018 S5 has the same part number as the one for the 2017 S4. H&R has different part numbers for the S4/S5, but I bet they are the same springs in the box.
I did extensive research before ordering my springs (on the Audi S9 A4/S4 forums). I ruled out Eibach and H&R, leaving just the EMMotion springs from Emanuelle Deseigns, and the springs from 034, which had more reviews in general than the ED offering.
No coilovers are available on the new S5. The S4 has offerings from Eibach and H&R that may fit though.

Only one member has dropped their B9 S5 on this board that I am aware of. That is Quattrings.

My S5 Sportback is not due for delivery for 4-5 weeks so it'll be a while before I get pics up.
