Default Audi sport springs vs non sport springs?

"1995 90 FWD"

Here is what I think I know. Sport springs are not stiffer and they drop the car approximately 20mm which I think is an 1". Anyway I will search but who knows what ill find.

-Anyone got part numbers?
-How much lower where they from the factory? Please dont go and measure your ride height because I am sure struts make a difference with ware and brand, but thanks .
-Where they stiffer or just lower? TIA

20mm is not quite a full inch.

Rear springs are different for sport models; all 4 shocks are stiffer than non-sport...

Default Thanks!

just wanted to see if it would be worth while switching to sport springs instead of my stock springs since I have a messed up spring.

Good luck finding a set, '95 FWD sports seem to be more rare than quattros...
