Thank you for the comments guys! I really like to hear your input and opinions. It helps me decide what to do next with the car.
So far, my impressions of the car after lowering with the H&R Race Springs in combination with my 25mm Neuspeed Rear sway bar is that my car has much improved handling and cornering ability. The car does not have much body roll at all during sharp or high speed turns. This set up instilled a lot more confidence in my car's handling abilities. Currently my A3 sedan handles much better than my mk6 GTi with the same mods.
The only significant drawback to the H&R lowering springs is the car is much stiffer in the sense of shock absorption due to the shortened travel length of the spring. Small bumps, pot holes, and shitty roads feel noticeably harsher. Initially I wanted to change back to stock springs immediately because of the decreased ride comfort however I decided to take a canyon drive and superb way the car handled with the new suspension mods on the mountain road made me reconsider going back to stock. The handling is really amazing at the expense of comfort. I'll see how I feel after a couple thousand more miles of driving.
Road/ driveway clearance has been no issue.
