Default Height difference sport vs. normal for B5

How much lower is the sport B5 than the normal B5. Also, if you buy a 1.5" lowering kit, is that 1.5" lower than the normal B5 or 1.5" lower regardless of your current suspension (I would assume normal).

*20mm lower. EDIT: this is for a 2000 anyways -- sport suspension:

"Includes modifications in springs, 30% stiffer shock absorbers, new helper springs and new stabilizer bars. Suspension is lowered by 20 mm." this was taken from www.cars.com
