Default Is eibach pro kit lowering springs the same as 96 OEM sport suspension?

I have factory sports suspension on my 96 a4 and wish to lower the car, but not sure is the springs is the same as eibach pro kit lowering springs that I am looking to purchase, part# 8d0-071-678-a-dsp.

Are these good springs (not race, only to lower car)
do I need to change OEM shocks
how much would they lower the car by?

any information would be greatly helpful,
thank you,

I don't believe 96 or 97 had a sport suspension option

It's the sports package, I know it includes the sports steering wheel, and I assume it includes suspension as well, am I wrong?

my 97 sport package handles considerably better than my friends 98 non sport, maybe its just the 205/55 on 16 inch rims compared to the smaller tires on 15s
