isn't the 02 sport pack actually a little lower than later years? So that would be bad no?

My shocks and springs are from a 2k6 B7 so I think they are a little higher than the 02.

Is there a reason why you do that?

iirc, it's the non-sport that is somewhat lower then on later models.

for my car, the neuspeed sports springs sit about the same height as the 02 sport pack.

sure you wanna go with a OEM upgrade? it's not gonna look very lowered.

Of course I am not sure, but that is the course I chose.

I don't want to spend a lot of money first off. Coilovers would be a waste, not tracking car and I would never adjust. So my options are springs and shocks. I would need eibach or h&r, then koni sport shocks. Still kinda pricey (around $600 to $800 total on parts alone.

Also, this car is daily driver for my wife so I do not want the car too low. I also live in the northeast so roads are horrible and we get snow.

I found a deal on slightly used (431 miles) stock sport shocks and springs for $200 plus shipping and I just could not resist. Bought the RS4 rear sway and place by me is going to install all for $200. So for around $600 total I am getting sport pack with RS4 rear sway installed. And it is all OEM parts (not that that matters, but at least they will all look OEM to service dept.)
