Bumper on my S8 was already cracked when I bought it and I have caught kerbs at parking many times with the bumper and also hit the ground with underside on speed bumps going at speed several times in the past running on standard S8 suspension which is the same height as quattro sport and 2cm lower than non sport.

I have since gone for higher tyres 155/45R19 which give me 17.5mm extra ground clearance and also got aftermarket bumper which sits about 25mm higher. Have not had any problems since.
