Default suspension packages

Ok, before I got my 01, I test drove and almost bought another 01 that I believe had the Sport package. It had OEM 17" wheels and seemed to sit just a tad lower then most A4s I have seen. I don't believe it was modded, it was all OEM. My car came with 16" wheels. Now, I have a used A4 sport suspension that I would like to put on, but I don't want to go through all that work, only to find out that I put the the same suspension that I took off is the same that I just put back on. Can someone give me some clues to look for? I don't have electronic seats, and my car is a Tip. Thanks.

Wheels are a good start to indicate whether you have the sport package or not. What do yours look like?

According to the specs at this link the 2001 A4 w/ sport package rides on a 16 x 7 - 7 spoke wheel.

These are the standard rims for that year:
7j x 15 8 spoke cast alloy wheel w/ 205/60 15 all season tires (1.8T models)
7j x 16 5 spoke cast light alloy wheel w/ 205/55 16 all season tires (2.8 models)

The 17" rims on that sport you mentioned could have been an factory upgrade or added later by the previous owner.

Yeah, mine had 16" on it when I bought it. So I guess mine already came with the sport package.

Yeah, if they are the 7-spoke and not the 5-spoke 16 inchers. With the sport package you should also have a three spoke steering wheel with an Audi sport logo at the bottom.
