Both A4 quattro.
Any input on setup? Settings, stiffness? 20K miles on them.
I've got the sport suspension currently. I'd like to lower the car wothout rubbing the tires. Thanks.

Not a good idea...
the 2.8 Springs have a heavier rate than the 1.8... if you install 2.8 stuff on a 1.8T... your front end will sit way too high... look like you are popping a wheelie.

I thought they were the same, since Neuspeed only have part numbers for quattro and FWD, 1.8 and 2.8
Part numbers are the same...
SO I am guessing they are the same setup, since they do not have a seperate part number for the 2.8 and the 1.8...
I think it is best to just call them, they know for sure.

Interesting, they don't list Race springs for the 2.8 on their site.....
I think the springs have the part number printed on them, you may be able to try and match them up and see if they are really 1.8 springs.
