Default springs ?

would taking my factory sports package springs off my 2001 a4 quatro and putting apex 1.7 inch lowering springs on actually lower my car? or would it just make it the same height due to the fact that i previously had sport springs on? thanx in advance

Default sport springs are only a .78" drop.....so the apex springs would drop you another inch or so......

but don't do it without upgrading the shocks as well. The stock sport shocks are really wimpy. They'll wear out quick and you'll have a bouncy ride.
