Default Will the stock sport springs fit into my 1997 A4 1.8T with non-sport springs?

I've read the FAQ and realized that 97 never came with the sport springs and I would like to put them in sometime soon. But my questions are: would I be able to find them on the market easily? Would they fit my car perfectly?
Currently, I have bilstein sport shocks with stock springs. And i believe the stock sport springs will drop .7" right?

Many thanks in advance!

Default You have choices.

If you already have aftermarket shocks then why not springs?<ul><li><a href="http://www.purems.com/products/products.php/CA=1476">http://www.purems.com/products/products.php/CA=1476</a</li></ul>

Default here is another choice you have....

<center><img src="http://awe-tuning.com/media/products/hr/audi_hr_springs_sm.jpg"></center><p>We use the Bilstein sport shocks with the H&amp;R springs all the time. They are a great match and will perform better than a stock replacement spring. If you want a little firmer ride and lower height, race springs are available as well.<ul><li><a href="http://awe-tuning.com/pages/shared/part_detail.cfm?PMaI=1&amp;PMoI=1&amp;PEI=2&amp;PP =a4_18t_suspension.cfm&amp;PPT=Suspension&amp;IL=H RSportSprings">click here</a></li></ul>

Default Re: You have choices.

well, I'm buying this modded car from a gentleman who took great care of his car. But then I noticed that the car was sitting kinda high. so I asked the owner why the car's height looks higher than it should be and he told me he didn't install the aftermarket springs because of the body kit (Reiger RS4).
If I drop the car with H&amp;R sport springs, will the car get hit with every bumps?
Also I can see that I have two choices:
H&amp;R or Vogtland
Which one would you shoot for if you were in my situation?
And No, I will never track my car.
