Ok here goes... I just bought a 1998 Audi A6 quattro with an aftermarket lowered suspension. I pulled the wheels to see what struts and springs are on it and it has H&R springs and Koni sport struts. The car looks great, but it's just a tad too low. I'd like to raise it up a bit, but I don't want it to have the big factory wheel gap. The springs are the black/gray color so I assume that they are the sport springs, not the race springs (sure sits like race springs though). Or did the race springs used to be a different color 10 years ago? (The exact product markings on the springs and struts are below for reference.)

FRONT
Koni Adjustable
82 2488SPORT

H&R 9/97
H&R 29 797 VA

REAR
Koni Adjustable
82 2465SPORT

H&R 8/2000
H&R 29 797 HA

Also, I'm not sure if my car had the factory sport suspension or not (or don't know if it matters). I searched this forum a bit to find out, and it's something about the steering wheel, seats and the codes on the white sticker in the spare tire area (codes 1BA and 1BE). I don't have either of these codes on the sticker and I'm not sure what to look for on the steering wheel and seats. Here's a photo, maybe somebody can tell me.

Also, if this did have the factory sport suspension, would aftermarket springs make it even lower than adding the same springs to the same car with a factory non-sport suspension. How does that work? Is the factory suspension ride height all about the springs, or are there other differences too?

If I swapped this set-up out with the Eibach Pro System would that bring it up some? Or is there anyway to bring it back to factory sport suspension ride height??

 

Thats pretty damn low for being a standard drop spring, if they are adjustable they must be the KONI coilovers. I also had a set on my S4, does the strut have threads on it?

 

No, I think it's just a set of springs and struts (but I could be wrong). Here's a shot of the front right set (before I wiped the spring down to find the logo/marking).

 

if u dont mind me asking what size are your rims and tires ? im planning on lowering my A6 and puting on a set of 20's.. wat do u think ?

P.S.

You don't have the sport model (I spy non-sport seats)
