is there that much of a difference in ride height between the two? i look at some a4s with 18s that have non sport and they have like 2 inch fender gap. and then the cars with sport have like less than an inch am im missing something or does the sport lower it that much?

 

it really does. sport is way lower. Mine actually looks halfway decent whereas non sports could be confused with SUVs

 

Yeah the sports suspension is the s4 setup pretty much and the difference is like half an inch lower

 

I have sport pkg and just slapped some S4 wheels on. I was concerned with the et45 offset rubbing. It doesn't rub. However, it is extremely close to the upper control arm.

I can see the difference big time when comparing mine with a regular A4. It is lower.

 

I put A4 sport springs with S4 Shocks on my car. Looks a lot better than the non sport 4x4 look and didn't cost much at all since people are always selling them.

 

Mine with the non sport suspension and 16 inch wheels when I bought it.


And with the S4 setup and 17" wheels

 

^--- I think I'm missing something, the gap looks exactly the same as the non sport suspension.

 

this is a pic of mine sitting on sport suspension. the front wheel gap is almost two inches and the rear is about an inch

and this is an example of one with the off road package

 

It's lower but nothing huge. After finding this out I should have saved a little more and just got the H&R springs. Trust me though the stock height was terrible. Was calling it the baja audi .

 

S4 suspension is only like 1" maybe 2" lower - its enough that when an A4 on the sport suspension rolls by, you will do a double take.
Luckily - its the SAME control arms, and the SAME alignment specs. Only thing different is the shocks/struts. OE sport ones will be red. =)
