2002 A4 1.8TQ Tip - 30k

I have a few questions, so please bear with me. I currenty have a stock set-up. I purchased used shocks, springs and sway bars from another 2002 1.8T that had stock sport suspension (35k.)

1. Are each of the bars from the sport set-up bigger than my stock - do I want to replace each of them on my car?

2. What do the colors on the springs signify (green & pink) - front and back springs - which is which?

3. Do I need different bump-stops when I put on the sport shocks? If so, where to get?

4. If/when I get intimidated, what do you think a reasonable $ range is to install the shocks/springs/sways for me?

5. Clearance issues with stock 16's (was an upgrade from the 15's when originally purchased) with stock Pirrelis? - I doubt it.

6. Anything I am not thinking of seeing how I am "suspension impaired."

Thanks for your help. I am getting pretty excited to get my baby lowered!

-originally had this in the Suspension fourm, but that my friends, is a ghost town...

Paid $250 for whole sport set-up & ship - damn good condition. From the pictures I've seen of the dude's car when he had it on his ride I will be much lower. Thanks Panda.

Anyone else care to comment - don't be shy...
