i did the exact same thing!
i had neuspeed/koni and it was too low and bouncy. i sold the neuspeeds and got a set of eibachs. the height went up a bit but it evened out the ride height and made it much more comfortable. it was basically the same ride feeling as my oem sport but with slightly better handling!

Re: i did the exact same thing!
I'm using H&R myself. I find it a little too low, I have stock 16" wheels, and I can barely fit one finger in the wheel gap.
And in terms of eveness, I find the front end a little too low comparing with the back.
In terms of bounciness, it's all right as long as you don't drive over extreme bumpy roads

A little too low as far as how it looks or how badly you rub on the wheel wells?
Also, is it bouncier than a non-sport a4 set up or is it just that you're looking for a stiffer ride?

I have a non-sport A4 and upgraded to the H&R/Bilstein setup. Rides lower, much better wo the wheel gap, rides just slightly stiffer, but fine for my daily drive.

Interesting--I live in Princeton and Route 1 is a big reason why I had ruled out tightening the....
suspension until I move. Can you do damage to the car by dropping it to much (i.e. can rubbing on the wheel wells be harmful?)? TIA

I have eibach with Koni's
tightened up everything. ride is harder but not to bad(I went from non sport. helps alot with cornering. I was not happy with the initial drop but the springs do settle a bit after a little while about a month or so of driving now they look just right
