S-line handling different than regular sport suspension?

Is the S-line's sport suspension package different (lower, stiffer, etc.) than the optional sport suspension? I would guess that the difference between 18"s and 17"s would be noticeable, but beyond that?

TIA.

Don't think so, S-Line is mostly appearance stuff.

Thanks.

I like the S-line kit, but why the hell can't I get it with platinum leather? Oh well, I guess it saves me ~$2,750.

My same thinking

Visual stuff doesn't do anything for me, but don't get me wrong, it does like great. The make/break point for me was whether the S-line would include real sport seats and not "sporty seats" and the answer was no unfortunately. You should see the stuff that Europe gets, nice two tone colour sport seats, sigh....

For me, I would buy the S-Line if I could get a platinum interior and sport seats. Then it would be

worth it for me. I understand that other people have different opinions.

Because Platinium is boring

I suspect the reason is that the S-line has the Brushed Aluminium Trim and I don't think that combination looks too good with the platinium in the A4 interior. However In the S4 where the Silver leather is a few shades lighter than the leather in the A4 the look does work much better with the brushed aluminium.

So if you want the grey leather and sport seats you have to get the S4 at least thats how it is here in America.
