The factory sport package lower the car 22mm - about 0.8 inches. It has matched springs and shocks and the suspension settings can be maintained perfectly - no undue negative camber. Whoever did yours is incompetent.
You might go for a full springs and shocks package, at about 1" lower than stock, non-sport ride height. This is safe for curbs, lousy roads, and snow.
Mike at pureMS seems helpful. Why not talk to him?

Alright, well for now I'm going with stock OEM springs just so I can get it at factory height. Plus, winter is coming around being it already August and a few months it will be cold. I plan on going up north in some snow.

We have Koni FSD's (the "2100 FSD kit") with regular height suspension with the original springs and we love 'em! I'm not sure why Koni says "FSD kit must be used with stock height suspension." I have my suspicions but have never had a reason to ask Koni about it. Check out the 2150 FSD Lowering kit, by the specs it shouldn't be much lower than your sport height.
As far as Koni Sport (Yellow)'s PureMS has them for "Sport Suspension" but who knows why their application doesn't show the 2.7T, maybe Mike could explain.
At Koni's site the second Sport (Yellow) listing shows different part #'s for the ones "with Audi Sport Suspension."

Sorry, that was about $0.02 worth!
