Any difference between sport and non sport pack (suspension) on 08 fx35?

[feakara1]

I searched for about an hour and could not find any info pertaining to shocks, springs, and sway bars. I know the cosmetic differences along with the larger wheels for the sport pack. Does sport tuned mean shorter springs sport shocks? Or is it just the larger wheels. If I where to get the stock 20" wheels will there be a larger wheel gap on the non sport? Thanks

if i recall there is a different part number for the sport suspension regarding struts/shocks and springs. I havent felt a difference wiith the different part number shocks. The difference i felt was in the wheel and tire setup. 18s felt smoother and 20s feel harsher. Everything else regarding susp: sway bar, suspension bushings, motor mounts, differ bushings are all the same. Suspension difference that i know of, awd has a rear sway bar, rwd does not

Thanks for the input. I managed to find a thread and it shows the difference is the rear shock absorbers. Why would the rear shocks be different and not the front struts as well? Is it safe to say the spring heights in a sport and non sport are the same? I am thinking of getting some stock 20" wheels and don't want to have a huge wheel gap. I can't post the thread due to my post count it's the suspension DIY thread by tchuck

It's the outer diameter of the rim and tyre that causes a wheel gap....if it ever would.
The 18" wheel with correct size tyre should have the same outer diameter as a 20" wheel with the correct size tyre.
That way your wheel gap stays the same.
There is only more rim to see then tyre compared to the 18"

I have a set of 18" winter wheels with 265/65/18 Yokohama tyres and a set stock 20" wheels with 275/45/20, the wheel gap stays the same.
(Not really sure about the 65 size on the winter tyres but i believe so, i am not at home but i can check it if you want)

Edit: Guess the difference in suspension is to provide about the same style suspension but with different sizes wheels.

To compare My audi's sport package as opposed to a non sort pacakage meant different shocks, shorter springs, thicker sway bars, wheels, bushings and bump stops. So far the only difference I can find is that the rear shocks are different.
