I didn't even open the link but I can tell you a b7 suspension will NOT fit on a B5, the setup is too different.

Add big stabilizer bars if you've got the extra dough.

If you have a non-sport A4, the most inexpensive option that will make a difference is probably a used B5 S4 set of springs/shocks matched with Hotchkis or Neuspeed stabilizer bars.

Just my .02 cents.
