Default B5 A4 sport suspension vs. S4

Is there a difference in the A4 sport suspension and the S4 suspension? My A4 sits pretty low now (stock sport) but my friend will sell me his stock S4 suspension cheap, so I wanted to see if it is different and will make a difference. Thanks.

And yes, I did search the forums, but can't find a reply yet...

I'm assuming you have a 1.8t, in which case the S4 front springs are set-up for the 2.7t and the weight difference will cause the S4 springs to lift your car verse lower it.

Looks like you just saved me some money. I didn't even consider the engine weight. Idiot.

Thanks man, also, can I just get the Eibach springs since I have the Sport shocks? Seems like that has worked pretty well for a lot of guys.

You'll still wear out your stock struts, but they may last a little bit longer than the non-sports.
People seem to love the Eibachs though!
