These are the new Koni's that SPP just got in stock with Intrax sport springs. I was told that there are no race springs available for the new A4's. It lowered the car approximately 1" from stock sport suspension height. This is the exact setup as found on Eric's tight silver A4.
The ride is just slightly rougher than the stock sport suspension even with the damping set to full stiff. It would be better described as "a greater feel of the terrain" rather than "bumpy." It is like the road is now giving me feedback.
Needless to say, turns are now even more like coasters at Magic Mountain and will become even tighter when I pick up 19's. The responsiveness is purely amazing. The drop height is perfect for 19" wheels. The car looks alot lower in person than in the pics. The pics don't do it justice. I haven't scraped any speedbumps or slammed into any dips yet but that remains to be seen. I even ran into a 325 that tried to race me on the way home from the installation. It must have been the dropped rear with the Milltek exhaust poking out that aroused him. I highly recommend this setup as an alternative to expensive coilovers if you are planning to go this route.
Talk to Eric at http://www.supremepowerparts.com/ for info.
Other mods I have installed:
-Milltek full exhaust w/ downpipe
-GIAC Chip (socketed of course)
-Turbo XS bypass valve
-Evo Motorsports Intake
-Philips Silver Visions in the rear
-Clear-cornered and debadged

How would the setup look on a Non-Sport Suspension A4? etc.....
I don't have the factory sport suspension on my A4, and I am looking to lower the car for a more sporty look.. I think the factory sport suspension height is just perfect, but I am open to suggestions as to which way to go. Replace Springs, Replace shocks or both...
BTW, any plans on selling your factory wheels after upgrading to 19"? I may be a buyer..

question for you, please help!
i just installed koni shocks and eibach's pro kit in my 02 A4. but i realized that i have no idea how to adjust the koni shocks. can you tell me. i installed them straight from the box and so i'm assuming they're at 'medium' stiffness. thanks in advance!
