Anyone know the difference between S4 springs and A4 2.8 sport springs?.......

Height and spring rates? Are the shocks different?

I know the answer is "there's not a big difference", but I'm curious as to the actual specs.

Thanks

More or less the same ride-height; S4 suspension is something like 20% stiffer than A4 "Sport"

there is a pretty big difference in stiffness. i've got an a4 w/ sport & a new s4

ride height is about the same and Andy mentioned. there is a lot less body roll going around the same turns at the same speed. definitely noticable.

sorry, don't have any specs. i may put in an after-market suspension in the S4, so my stock S4 suspension could be on the market . . .
