Eric, are you talking about the S6? I agree on the A6 you get a stiffer suspension, but I don't think the S6's air suspension changes at all with the sport package.

Yeah pretty sure the S6 sport pack is only, differential, steering, exhaust. The suspension is the same.

Well perfect timing on the Night Vision question.
Haven't had my car long and driving to work this morning, it was very foggy. I turned on night vision and was cruising down a back road a 65 mph. Saw a large white spot appear in a field to the left. Looked over saw nothing, but fog. Slowed down to 35 mph quickly and a deer ran across the road.
So my opinion is firm now. If you live or drive in rural areas or areas with heavy deer population I recommend it. Just have to remember to turn it on.

... in my opinion and experience, the sport package stiffens spring rates and more effectively controls damping or rebound from and impact. While this is imperative during aggressive cornering, especially on anything but glass smooth roads, it makes the ride more harsh - even if there are settings for comfort/sport/track. Typically the sport package lowers the car, reduces the total suspension travel and limits the degree to which the car leans under cornering load. All this is great if your emphasis is on cornering performance. That is why these setups are offered as options, because many folks prefer a softer setting which matches there normal driving.
