The sport suspension and SP8000 tires would definitely be a welcome
enhancement.  These are the only two areas on my A4q that IMHO needs
improvement.  The current suspension rides real nice, but is a little
too squirmy.  I assume that the sport suspension would also have stiffer
shock valving which should cure this trait.  The Dunlop SP8000 would be
a great improvement over the Goodyear Eagle RS-A all season tires that
A4s come with now.

If I were buying my A4 again I would definitely order that option!
