Default Here's the gameplan... UPGRADES

Well using the superhelpful links sticky at the top I assembled a list of semi-longterm goals for upgrades with my car. I've got the timing belt coming up and my cars going in for a service in a few weeks. I figure after the service I'll start upgrading making sure not to forget about the timing belt job.

Here's the list I assembled I'm wondering if anyone could just critique maybe there are better options or lower prices from other places. Any advice would be much appreciated.

One or two of the items have big -OR- 's between them that's because I'm not sure what the best option is. If you know, let me know! ;-) Thanks guys!

Nice list there.

You can get the RS4 motor mounts and the Snub mount. The motor mounts are between the motor and the wheels. The snub mount goes on the front of the motor.

For your brakes, the only larger rotor you can get while retaining the stock caliper the the A8 upgrade. It's basically the A8 rotors, TT caliper carrier, and stock caliper. I recommend getting braided lines also if you do go that route. It's a nice cheap upgrade. You may also want to consider the Boxster upgrade kit from Pure MS.
