and along with the under body spoiler kit and RS4 wheels you get the trunk spoiler, upgraded suspension and the alum. trim. Red on black w/ the alum trim is sick. My friends drool over it.

no sport and ultra sport suspension is the same
but 2002 sport suspension is the lowest height out of the B6s
dont forget about the rear euro bumper
the front upper isnt the same as the regular A4
ULTRA SPORT is just comsetic(sp)

THE FOLLOWING COMES DIRECTLY FROM THE '04 A4 ULTRASPORT BREAKDOWN!
Handling
Without really flogging the test car, I did manage to do some spirited jaunts in the twisty roads of Los Altos Hills, CA. The car, with the special sports suspension, did pretty well despite it hefty 3,406 lb. curb weight. It was definitely not as tossable as my B5 Audi A4 1.8T; the car has the expected safety inspired understeer characteristic that all new Audis exhibit, but it was a bit more neutral than I expected. Frankly, I had a tough time getting the rear end to step out at all.
While foraging for a nice stretch of road I also managed a nice romp on the 280 freeway between San Jose and San Mateo, including a number of freeway onramps and off ramps. For those familiar with the area you can attest that there are very few places where the pavement is as smooth and the turns as consistent in arch as those of the 280 freeway in the hills behind Palo Alto. This is truly my favorite local testing ground. At freeway cruising speeds this car really excels, feeling extremely solid and connected to the road due largely to the B6 platform's increased chassis stiffness. The balance of the spring rates and shock dampening really make this car fun to drive. Can this be considered a "sport package" suspension? You bet it can.

Panda's right on this USP is the same as the sport it looks different because we have the rs4 wheels but if you measure like i have done fender to fender the hight is the same.
as far as making it better. probably the best thing you can do for the least money is to buy some h&R s4 sways and have them put in.
here are some pics of my car.
some shots from last nights meet here in bellvue. 35 cars met for the gtg and 25 cars for the dinner. sorry for crappy **** lighting.
you can see redgoats car the white 12v a4 next to my silver usp and Dolphinv8's sweet *** S4 with 292's pimped out silver b6

It def felt different, then again, it could be all in my head :P
I test drove both, back to back and the ultra sport felt alot stiffer and felt to have better handling. Like i said, it could also be all in my head.
