is there any cheap/effective ways to increase the ride height?
like swap out springs or struts?
I have a b5 A4 quattro avant AEB with the sport suspension and I want to give it some more ride height because there just inst enough sometimes...
I'm sticking with my 16" sport alloys too, maybe even use 15"s for winter
anything adaptable from an A6 or some cheap DIY stuff?

This must be a first.
Find someone who wants to part with stock (non-sport) springs. I think you're gonna need Avant specific springs.
You might as well replace the shocks while you're doing the job.

Good luck finding non lowering springs on the internet. I had go the stealership to find standard suspension (not sport package) springs. Lets just say its going to be 2 to 3 times more expensive per spring then a lowering spring. ($600+ for 4).

any chance in doing like the big boys (4x4's) and getting some spring spacers? Probably couldn't add more than an inch (if that) this way and would likely need new shocks as well, but not springs.
You're kind of on your own with this one.

Depending on what shocks are on it this is one way to go - http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-B5_A4-...ECS_Coil_Over/
Else you might be able to just double up on the rubber spring pads
