Should I update the Audi headunit for better sound with the Bose system?

OR:

Defcons and R32 19mm arb?

 

Defcon!

 

Depends what you want out of the car. For performance, personally I think the 19mm ARB is one of the best bang for the buck mods you can get on the TT. If you are more concerned with car audio...get a new stereo.

 

If sound is important to you then you will notice a significant improvement over the stock headunit with any aftermarket unit. I went with a pioneer with bluetooth, 7-band equalizer, full set of preamps for the future, and built-in crossovers. The difference is night and day.

 

ARB?

 

arb = anti roll bar aka antisway bar

 

Is a sway bar upgrade recommended for stock suspension? If so, front, rear or both. I will be on track with this but also a daily driver.

Any reco for diameter?

Thanks

02 TT 225 quattro

 

Stiffer/bigger front sway = more understeer
Stiffer/bigger rear sway = more oversteer

Helps keep car flatter under steering loads & limits weight shifts during turning transitions.Most fwd vehicles (like the Mazda3) suffer from understeer out of the box which is why a stiffer rear bar is usually a key mod.

 

Don't mean to jack the thread but your stereo question made me think to ask....

I have an 01 225. I went down to Car Toys to get a new head unit. I was told by them that I have to replace all the speakers as well because the amp is intergrated into the stock head unit. Is this true? I did not want to spend 1k +I just want something that I can plug my zune into and a nicer head unit. I just wanted to spend 300-450 and retain the stock speakers.Is this possible?

 

Mobius97 I used to work at an audio shop...This is true! Although they will work just wont sound as nice anymore. I suggest a wireless fm connection...
