what you need is a 4 corner adjustment to lower it properly but only a few shops do it from what ive researched
Are spacers needed in the rear or at all?

I just bought KW2 coilover.
I am trying to set the ride height and stiffness to OEM sport suspension.
1)
What is the distance from ground to fender on front and rear wheel? (with OEM wheel diameter)
2)
How many clicks on the stiffness setting will feel like OEM sport suspension?

Perfect, thanks PTL... I heard they were needed so the rim would clear the coilover? I just wanted to make sure...
i ran and will run spacers again

Did you run spacers on both the front and rear? How big were your spacers? 10mm?
i had two different sets, 5mm and 10mm

And he is right, only certain shops offer this.
just so the OP knows what this is...
your car sits on a level surface, on 4 independent scales.
The weight distribution is adjusted through alignment and coilovers so that its equal on all 4 or depends on how u want it.
you should also be in the car when the final adjustments are made.
The shop i went to (West End), was well aware of KW2 capabilites/installation/settings/ etc.,
and can adjust the ride height/dampening of your car at your request.

just to add to this, PTL is refering to a 4 corner 'balancing'.

thank goodness.
my problem was solved! the culprit?
its the rims offset. Its a printing error by Advanti~!
and that shop which sold me the rims said it happened to another Audi car too..
I am surprised why such thing can happen to my ADVANTI RIMS!
but thankfully, the shop arrange with local distributor and got my rims exchange and even help to polish the fron rims too..
