Default Can you put a stock SPORT suspension on a NON-SPORT?

Hi,

I want to lower my car, but I don't want to get just springs. Many of the aftermarket components are too low for me, so I was thinking about going with the Audi stock sport suspension. I have a non-sport.

Will I be able to put the Audi sport springs and sport shocks on my non-sport without a problem?

Default Thanks, but what about...

...just the stock sport SPRINGS on a NON-sport? Any problems forseen?

I've heard people putting the Eibach's on non-sport without too much problem, but to me the stock sport suspension is the perfect drop in height and even Eibach's are a little too low for me.

Thanks!

Default If it fits, your shocks will have a short life, since they were matched to different springs...

It may also not ride very nicely, pogoing, hitting the bump stops, etc.

Default Is Sport suspension different shocks or just springs and sway bars?

Is your upgrade to Sport exactly what the dealer factory would have shipped had you ordered it?

Default Bought the parts from another B6 driver who was upgrading.

I paid $425 for 4 sport shocks/springs.... Dealer installed everything and aligned the car for $600
