Supposedly S-line has a slightly lower drop than the sport suspension. I've yet to measure. Sport suspension is supposed to have a 20mm drop over stock. S-line is a 30mm drop or so I was told at the A4 launch.

Not in the US. All sport/S-line models have 20mm drop.

This is incorrect -- Sline and sport have the same drop. Now the S4 suspension may be, probably is, lower.

20mm looks good, drives great, improves ride and control, IMHO. Couple it with the 19" wheels and ADS and you've gotta winna and champeen. Too bad they make you buy the Prestige version to get this.

Marketing!

I wish Audi would offer the sport diff on the "lesser" A4's, here, however, you gotta get it, if you want it, in an S4 with ADS (which also means S4 Prestige.)

More marketing reasons, not technical reasons in any way, shape, manner, form or regard.

Unbundle the options, let my people go!
Ooops, got carried away again.
