It's on the AoA website. "Sport suspension" as part of the Sport package in 2005.5 and as part of the S-Line package in '06 used to say "20mm lower ride height". Now it only says 10mm as of the recent update.

My guess it has to do with whiney Americans complaining that the ride is too rough. Probably the same ones who complained about the lack of cupholders and who can't fit into sport seats. :-P

It also says that there is one rear fog light when there are two actually. Checked with Alex on the Canadian forum who works at the Mississauga Audi dealer and he mentions that it's still 20mm.

The sport suspension since the B5 has always been 20mm lower, can't think of a reason why they would have reduced it only by 1 cm now.
