Default aftermarket suspension mod?

I've got a 2000 1.8TQMS...has anyone put aftermarket sport springs on their 1.8T using the factory struts? APR told me the cars weight is light enough for this. Can anyone fill me in on how the quality of the ride feels?

Default The general consensus is the exact opposite of what APR said

If you lower your car, your shocks will need to be replaced after 6mos to 1 year. This is (in part) because the A4 is a HEAVY car.
