Default Sport Suspension Package, Yes or No?

As the title suggests, I need some help determining whether I have it or not. I bought the car, used, a little over two weeks ago. The previous owner still had the dealer invoice/sticker, so it was given to me at the dealership. According to it, my car was equipped with the package. However, from what I understand the package came with 18s. This car does not, it has the split five-spoke 17s. Is there a way I can definitvely tell whether or not I have the sport suspension package? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm not sure how to tell.. But you can always bring it to an audi dealership and ask them to take a look... And if you were going to purchase an aftermarket suspension kit the answer is yes... Do it.. Check out stasis

Which kit are you running, touring or challenge? What kind of drop did you get out of it?

If it's a real S you should have different color springs than the regular version, I believe the S springs are red.

But I can't figure out if you are talking about the S package or an add-on?

For sport suspension it's the shocks that are red.

Sport Suspention is springs and struts only. Not a wheel package. My B7 and B6 before that both were sports but had 17's. If your car looks like a monster truck you are not sport. If the gap is small and looks clean then you have a sport.

See attached pic. Not monster truck!

Yeah I got a monster truck. It's irritating.

I wonder if going to 18's will fix the gap? The funny thing, the gap is much larger in the front.

18's with proper tire size will be exactly the same size diameter so no, it won't help. Unless you go up in size on your tires to fill the gap a little but your speedo will be off.
