18's on sport wont look so bad, a non-sport will definatly look like a 4x4 but seen a few sports without drop and it looks fine, but dropping it looks even better

You'll be fine as long as you have the sports suspension

The lower the better. Here's some pics of my b5 before and after suspension.

flyinb501. What size are your wheels and tires? Are the "before" pictures with sport suspension? I have sport susp and I will be getting 18x8.5 rs4 reps soon. I'm looking for the best tire to match.

thanks
