there's a couple audi indy shops.. one that sticks out that is reputed.. but i just want my car oem as possible... was thinking getting the oem sport suspension? shipped to me from the states.. probably cheaper...
what do u guys suggest, because i dont want to go any lower then stock sport look..
and maybe a sway bar..
my primary question was i didn't know what to order off the online audi catelogue.. thats all....

The swap to sport will be a large improvement from non-sport. It doesn't sound like you're looking for anything too aggressive but modding has been proven to be an escalating virus of upgrades.
I'd shoot for a used set with low miles. Check the Audizine.com classifieds. This way, if you want to swap em out later on, you won't be out too much. Try going for a spin in a sport pkg A4 to help u decide.
Going to sport will lower the car a bit, and look like mine... but won't be anywhere near Uncle Ben's. I'm not sure what the going rate for OEM sport suspension is... but I'd look at aftermarket options as well.

If you want to go OEM new, then by all means do so. It just might cost a lot as OEM Audi stuff can be kinda expensive. However, genuinevwaudiparts.com would be my suggestion on where to buy OEM. Not sure what all the components are... if you call / email Craig he'll let you know.
I highly suggest the RS4 Rear Sway. Best mod I've done to date. Link to my writeup is below... that'll tell you most everything you need.
Side note, you'll get a free pass this time since you're new... but the Search-Wolves will start to circle if you don't take a stab at yee old search button first. ;-]
And welcome, sir.
Now post some pics and buy some spare coil packs.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/1081462.phtml">RS4 Rear Sway Install</a></li></ul>

the 1BE bump stops, and shocks. The headlight auto leveling controller will need to have the "home" position reset using VAG-COM.

the wolves will continue to jump on you.
People around here freak out if they actually have to click another response to read it rather than make the decision based upon the first sentence!

Here are the part numbers for the sport suspension components matching your vehicle's stock components. Front springs - 8E0411105CK Rear springs - 8E0511115DN Front shocks - 8E0413031CL Rear shocks - 8E0513036AF Front sway bar - 8E0411309B Rear sway bar - 8E0511409AQ Rear sway bar mounts - 8E0511327A Rear shock jounce bumpers - 4B0512131B These are the only items I know of that are different between the standard and sport suspension. It may not be everything you need to make the changeover. Best, - Craig
