Finally a good answer! As long as you are careful when pulling in/out of driveways and parking you will be fine. If anything, I'd argue that the sport suspension is too high for a true sport sedan. Gap between the tires and fenders is a terrible thing.

I agree. Not to mention, there isn't a front lip spoiler or anything making the front even closer to the ground so the front has a good amount of clearance even when the car is lowered.

You can never be too low? How about in winter?

The sport suspension on the A4 is great but I wonder how I'll do in winter with it..

Snow?... what snow? Ha!

I guess that's the real beauty of height adjustable coilovers... you can lower it in the summer and raise it in the winter.

dont let ur girlfriend drive it, i took a long road trip and got sleepy, so i let her drive. she was fine up until we got there, she tried to park the car hit a high mounted parking block and now the bottom lip is dented and scuffed 8(

On the other hand, you miss the real beauty of quattro in snow..

Snow on a lowered car isn't too bad. I find my car "floats" less then the stock suspension in snow. On the other hand I currently do not have AWD and it gets tough pushing snow in "un-plowed" streets. I figure quattro will have no issues at all...

Even if snow is above the bumper!

The new bumper kinda looks like a snow plow. I should have a quattro I vs. quattro V comparison/smack down next winter (if it decides to snow). I'll leave the snow bank bashing to the '87 4000 quattro though, its got a tougher bumper.

I gotta say that I'm really surprised. I took some back roads that were unplowed with a subaru impreza 2.5RS (the 2002 one, with sport suspension and all, pretty much a wrx without turbo) and almost got stuck when it was time to "plow". That was with Toyo GO2+ winter tires. I blame that on the lack of rear LSD because I could sometimes hear one wheel spinning and the other one not doing much. I was quite disappointed to see that the B8 A4 doesn't have a rear LSD. Did the A4 in the video have one?

RE: Lower height with sports package.

Raised manhole cover made a loud clunk. No apparent damage. As careful as I have been one got me in a store's parking lot. Guess the final paving was not done. The the kid with a G37 was salivating over my A4 at the Hess station and the girl at the pizzeria who was 45 years younger was flirting with me.

Win some lose some.
