That's about the only mod (apart from the sports suspension) I was
interested in myself. My first comment, on reading the article: 'Hey,
finally! Someone else has noticed!'

>From the original post:

  The second package lowers the suspension by 30cm (must be a typo- not
even a
  Land Rover can be lowered by this much. 30mm, surely!), special ten-spoke
  alloys and 225/45R17 tyres are provided. Firmer struts and other suspension
  mods make the A4 sportier to drive. The power steering has been modified to
  give a more direct response, resulting in better feel- especially in the
  straight-ahead position (phew, I thought they'd never notice!) Including a
  neat twin-pipe silencer, this comes to a grand total of DM3300.

quattro GmbH contact info (from their brochure, dated 3/97):

phone ++49 841-898269 for A3, A4 and Cabrio-related info, ++49 7132-313915
for A6 and A8. A full qGmbH brochure can be ordered on ++49 841-897690.
Remeber the time difference!

HTH,

Tom
