Default is there really much of a diffrence??

Do you guys think it would be bad if i got 19s on my a4 quattro instead of 18s??? Will I notice a negative diffrence if i get 19s??? Also will i notice a negative diffrence in 18s or 19s from the stock 15s???

you'll get better handling but you'll feel more bumps in the rode...i don't think the difference between 18s and 19s is very much, but 19s will slow you down a little do you have a b5 or a b6?

19s are harder on you suspension componets compared to 18s like wheel bearings
and is heavy Unsprung weight
Sport springs race springs have a really harsh ride quality

i'd go with 18s and sport springs...but it depends on what you want...race springs will give you better handling on the track...sport springs will give you pretty good handling for street use and you won't lose all of the ride quality of your beautiful a4....

A thing to remember with 18 AND 19s is.... that they bend... pretty easily. So get used to always being on the lookout for potholes and such.

I just had my race springs and struts installed, and it looks like I'm gonna have to roll my fenders because my wheels are to wide.
