Picking up in 1 hour. 
The car is all done. Installation. Alignment. The adjustments have been made for more track focused.
They said that this coilovers is pretty stiff itself so I should keep it on the softest setting and just change it up at the track myself since I can just use those little thingy on the top to adjust it easily on both front and back.
The car should be lowered by a tad less than 1 inch all around.

Let me just add a little more. I only drove 20 miles back home from the shop. It's on full soft setting, but it's definitely so much more stiffer than stock. The car feels SO MUCH TIGHTER. I love it.
Camber is set at -2 for all four corners. It's good for DD and Track. I'll go more aggressive once I get a Rear Lower Control Arm next year. It's good as is for me since it's my first time having a set of coilovers.
The installer has mentioned that when I go to track or canyon, I should definitely go stiff on the fronts and a little less stiff on the rear. That should give me so much more grip paired with RS3 tires.
Now with little input on the steering, the car feels like it's being sucked into the corner. It's super tight. On the freeway, the car doesn't float like it used to with the stock suspension. I'm at the optimal height set up for track. Not slammed at all. Probably about 1 inch lower on all four corners.

Thanks!
Work is finally starting to slow down a little. Unfortunately, I had to cancel the track day on this Saturday. I'm taking this Thursday and Friday off and spend more time with my wife since this weekend is pretty much the first time spending some time with my wife for the first time in over a month.
I'm going to wash my car tonight or tomorrow.. then take some good pics of it. Will post them!
Yummy, work your magic on the thread title, please. You are clever. You can do it.

Well I found some old pics of my car with 4x4flush. 
So the difference is MASSIVE. haha
There's about 1-1.5 finger gap right now. It was like 3-3.5 finger gaps before.

Yeah, it can definitely go lower but not recommended for track set up. This is the optimal set up for driving. It'll be too low for my taste if it goes any lower. I'm so happy that I don't really have to go sideway on the driveways and whatnot. haha
NO!
NO!
