I've just sent mine off for a full respray yesterday and whilst it's gone I intend buying drop links for the lowering and also a set of 21"s  The drop links shown here are these pre-set to the 15mm and 25mm you mentioned or do they have to be adjusted?  What I ideal want is a small drop all around, that will reduce the gap between tyre and arch, but I also want to know what size tyres I need to get the car to sit right, look right without rubbing. 255/30's/21" look to be the wheel that I need to upgrade from my 19" but do you think I should get the 9.0J, the 9.5J or the 10.0J alloys?
I was hoping without the need for spacers to push the lip of the wheel out to the edge of the arch lip so that when looking down the length of the car or people driving towards me in the other direction that it looked proper mean and awesome at the same time. I'm not sure on wheel style yet but these black gloss centres on the chrome lipped rim lip on my Black D3 would certainly look amazing.
Regards,
Mark.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
