Is the non-sport to OEM sport spring mod worth it?
I've also hated the dive/squat on my 99.5 2.8, but I've been putting off doing anything until I get new tires. Then I was just going to get a set of sport springs and just be done with it. Is this worth my trouble? I have 2 more years on the Audi assured warranty, so I think I should stick to Audi parts. Any thoughts?

oh hell yes.....the non-sport springs are a joke compared to the sport springs.....
the stock sport springs are actually very nice springs. Very high performance.
You will notice a HUGE difference going from a non-sport to a sport setup.
But make sure you upgrade the shocks as well. Do NOT use the sport springs with the non-sport shocks.
The stock sport shocks obviously work fine with the sport springs, but I would recommend going further and getting Neuspeed Bilstein Sport shocks.
I guarantee you will fall in love with your car all over again. The upgrade in handling is unreal.

upgrading just my shocks made a HUGE difference in reducing squat/dive......
certainly upgrading the springs as well will reduce it even further....
But I think that saying "shocks will help a little" is a bit of an understatement.
Bear in mind that my springs are the stock sports, not the non-sports.

Yes, I did an upgrade from OEM non-sport to OEM sport and it's a huge improvement....
But now that I've read about dj and bahn burner's experience with the Neuspeed Bilsteins, I think I may go for another upgrade. I want just a bit more drop and better dampening than the OEM sport shocks offer.
