Default no cuz if you think about it, the cars almost weight the same, 2.8 and 2.7t itll put you exactly..

where you are now. 1.8t springs will put u low tho. almost like a scoop.

Default But S4 suspension is lower then non-sport

It will put you lower, but not as low as sport A4, S4 suspension is actually a little taller then that.

From a non sport, you might notice a very slight reduction in ride height..

Default I have tried it, unless you get shocks with adjustable

perches you will have an uneven drop. Using the S4 springs your front ride height will stay the same and in the rear you will be approx. 1/4" to 1/2" lower.

Default there is no such thing as lowering and keeping the non-sports shocks good

they will go out within months, you can bet on it. You'd better replace them too, so you don't have to do the job twice.

Default I have s4 shocks and springs and they're perfect....

it does drop the height but not that much.I now have a 3 finger gap, with stock i could have fit a fist with room to spare. And it handles much better than stock.
