I have a 2012 black edition A3 black and have just fitted 19" rotors, but they sit quite high.

Do I need to adjust the suspension set up. The car originally had the 18" rotor alloys.

I dont really want to make the ride any firmer.

The only option I can think of is to lower the car, which will make it a harder ride. 

Love them wheels btw

Cheers For the advice, I just thought they would bolt on, but it looks like its on stilts.

The 18's were okay, but looked lost.

 

Any advice on lowering it.

Love those wheels and want to get a set myself at some point. Definitely needs lowering though. 2 options; coilovers or airbags.

I'll probably be going coilovers as airbags are more expensive. Keep this thread updated as I'd be interested to know if you have any rubbing issues!

Found this A3 on Instagram. This is what I'm aiming for.....

if you want it to sit like that you'll need coilovers. you could get it to sit a lot nicer but just lowering it with shorter springs though for a lot less money
