The drop should be the same for both models... the "sport" suspension, is just different tuned springs/shocks from Audi.... You would be removing those springs, to install the H&R set.

So realistically, you should get about 1.4/1.3 on Standard suspension, and if you use these on the Sport, you will only be lowered about .7/.6 more, which would still equal the same ride height as the non-sport suspension, with H&R springs


H&R Springs (OE and sport, not race) are the best suspension mod possible. not too low, not too bouncy, not harsh... just right!

My car has the sport package and thought my car would only be lowered by .7/.6 but it dropped it more than that.. It actually looks like it dropped it 1.4" from the sport suspension

From the pictures comparing your sport to his non-sport, yours certainly does look lower...

I actually think its sitting at the same height but the springs probably dropped his car a bit more than 1.4" His car is showing more of a fender gap because his wheels are more flush.

We should really get some fender to ground measurements!

I plan on putting the H&Rs on.... but i probably want to wait like a year or so, so I can enjoy the OEM suspension for a while

For the 20s you have mounted, what brand are they....not the 20s offered as part of the 20" Sport Pkg, correct?
