So I've been told my Audi would look good to lower, I've been linked some coilovers...

apart from obvious camber issues, what over problems can occur from this? Like wear to bushes etc? Anyone know?

welcome to the forum. depends how low and how deep you pockets are. some expensive coilovers properly fitted and set up by someone that knows what they are doing can work very well. some cheap coilovers and a poor job can spoil an otherwise good car.

Reasonably lowered (30-40mm) can be achieved with little detriment to tyre wear, camber and alignment should be checked after you are fitted and lowered.
Extreme lowering usually involves any method possible to get em inside the arches and often is outside the limits of adjustment.
Air ride on an old W123 Merc used to eat front tyres... But they were cheap and it looked cool cruising with it slammed and sparks flying when the belly plate grounded ;)
