Default Chip or Springs first?

I've done some intake and light exhaust work. I have about 300 to use on the car.

Would you get the GIAC chip or a set of springs?/

Chip.

Just springs is a major audi faux pas... you'll toast your shocks within the year, likely. We suggest doing springs and shocks all at once... save yourself doing the labour twice.

So yes, chip it... but I wouldnt buy like neuspeed for 300... save a little and get APR or GIAC or Revo.

Or if you get lucky, snag a used one. Make sure the ECU part # is identical, though!

haha, good call.
I still don't know anybody's real name... I am terrible with names. When I don't have a face to a name... I'm hopeless.

Pictures don't count. I didn't retain about 95% of the names of people I met yesterday. I just nod and smile.... their names just given to me, already forgotten.

I vote save a little and do springs and shocks. You can do like Bilsteins/Neuspeeds for around $600, etc.
Just my 2 cents.

I can still ***** out girls for money though, cant I? I'm not gonna get in trouble cause I havent had pimp training yet am I? Better keep this little venture of mine on the low down for the time being, then!

As for the chip / suspension thing... I'd go suspension first, too... if you can afford it.

That 600 dollar figure, is that new?

true, once you register as licensed pimp, you have to maintain proficiancy checks and all kinds of crap. Don't let them know what you really up to or they will want to tax it.
