Here are some pictures, I will get a better picture of the new stance with better lighting later. I just dropped it off for an alignment will be picking it up after work.

There is alot of popping noises and creaking noises when going slow, when im on high speeds everything is fine. Everything is installed correctly, however, there is all these sounds, does anyone have any idea what it could be? It handles amazing though!

If everything was correct there would be no popping or creaking.

You probably didn't torque the strut top nut or the ARB drop-links enough. Also the ARB bushing mounts might not be tight either. Getting that driver-side rear ARB bushing needs a creative combination of extensions and swivel joints. Put it back in the air and double check your work. Also, did you torque the ARB bushing mounts at ride height? If not, you're incorrectly preloading the bushings.

Fix it and then get it aligned to the Performance Supplement FE4 "track" alignment. You'll be impressed.

Thank you, I am dropping off my car for the "new fix" for the A8 shudder tonight, so I will ask them to take a look and make sure everything is torqued down correctly.

Were you able to pinpoint the cause of the clunking?

I will update once I get it back fixed. However, even with the clunking noise the suspension felt like stock but was super tight when you pushed it. I was very impressed. There was a turn that I could normally take at .60g and now I could take it at .80g with ease.
