The TT is already low enough in my view. I have to go very carefully out of driveways in the Bay Area to avoid scaping the underside of the front bumper. I have 18" RS4 Replica wheels that have the same outside diameter and same number of revolutions per mile as my stock 17" OEM Audi wheels and tires. The 18" look fine on my car without the need to lower. IMO any lowering of the TT for use on normal roads makes the TT vulnerable to scraping the bottom of the front bumper.
