Suspension wise I have fitted coil-overs to the front only and the rears are stock quattro sport suspension which from memory is the same as the S8 and 20mm lower than standard A8, but if my rear wheels weren't so wide then I would have looked at perhaps lowering the rear a little and the front even more. For day to day use and still getting over speed bumps etc mine is as low as I dare really with the wheels fitted. Perversely the 20" final edition wheels I also have as my other set are very slightly bigger on diameter/radius than the Kahn wheels and more likely to rub at the front, and really this is where you have to suck it and see and tweak the coilover's height to suit. It would be possible on yours to lower the rear some and tuck the top of the wheels into the arch by adjusting the rear wheel camber if you wanted.
