Default Springs

My car is lowered with the Koni coil-over setup. i have 17x8 wheels with 225/45/17 SO2-pp's. my question is what spring set up do i want in terms of lbs/sq in to prevent the wheels from bottoming out on the fender. i have some rubbing going on when i turn and hit bumps at the top of the wheel well.

Default Just raise the car up a little. The coil-overs are just fine.

Default If you want stiffer springs, you may need to have your shocks revalved

it depends on how stiff you want to go? How low is your car right now? Measured from the ground to the top of the wheel arch. I am going to run 500/600s, Corey has 700/750s and sharon has 600/700s I think. These are for S4s, the A4 uses different rates depending on if you have the 4 or the 6 cyclinder.
