So, how much of a difference does sport suspension really make in cornering? I plan to get an A4q and love to throw my cars into corners. Will there be a big difference. I also often take bad dirt roads, so clearance is an issue.

While we are at it, how much of a difference will premium wheels make?

Check the archives, there is a ton of info on the Sport pack. I just took delivery of a 99.5 2.8 Avant qmss and the sport pack makes a huge difference. The car corners flatter and really grips the road. My old car was a 98 2.8 qtip and there is a huge difference with the sport pack. It is worth every penny and worth waiting for if you have to order a car, unless you are going to trash it and go aftermarket right away. Check the wheel and tire forum for wheel info, there is as many opinions as wheels. Hope this helps.
