Default Whats this I hear about Sports suspension in June?

I read hear that the S-Line package with sports suspension is coming in April? What does that mean exactly? I know that the suspension is lowered a bit how is that different then adjusting it simply through Drive Select?

Also, can anyone speak from experience how the lower suspension affects handling? I know audi rides on the stiffer side normally so how does this affect driving in all? Thanks!

Every car I have owned has either been an S-line from audi or the M-pack from BMW. The handling is superior compared to the regular suspensions. I could never drive a regular suspension as I find they drive like boats.

I recently swapped out my S-line shock/springs on my A3 3.2 for a Koni FSD shock and eibach pro spring kit... Now that suspension setup blows the s-line out of the water! Way better handling and not as jarring on uneven or broken road.

Drive both s-line and regular suspension and see what you like!

The S-line suspension option is a delayed availability option--I had read that it wasn't going to be available until June but AoA may have moved it up to April.

The only suspension alteration through Drive Select is the Magnetic Ride option which is only available on the S3. On the A3 Drive Select cannot change the suspension.
