The Wett chips are reliable. Many people have them and they have been around quite a while.

I would get suspension and tires at the same time if you get better tires your gonna notice the suspension flaws more because the tires will stick better at the limit rather than slide

exactly, which is why i'm getting neither right now, lol. But like i said i am interested in a tighter rear sway bar to get rid of the understeer and give it neutral steer or maybe a little oversteer. So far I found 3: the rear one from neuspeed, front and rear from lltek, and the front and rear from h-sport.

I like neuspeed because i trust their products and it's a good price, but i don't like it because it's only the rear and a kit to match the front and rear i would imagine would be better and because you have to weld and paint. The ones from lltek look nice, its a kit and they aren't hollow, but they are a little more spendy and i haven't heard much about their quality, and i'm not sure if or how much the rear stiffens more then the front. The ones from h-sport sound pretty good, you get the front and rear, and the front is stiffened by 60% and the rear is stiffened by 120% or 150%(adjustable) so i'm sure all of the understeer will be eliminated, they are hollow though. But, after thinking about it hollow is probably better for my needs, i'm thinking the ones from lltek might be too stiff with the stock setup. So right now i'm thinking h-sport, have you guys heard much of these, and does my reasoning and decision sound good?

also, back to the chip, i'm reconsidering because of the warranty issue tradeoff for the small gains, i was wondering though, in what situations would a dealer notice that i'm chipped? This isn't a flash chip, so i can't flashback and there is a physical change.

And i think i'll be getting a short-shifter, do you guys recommend the b&m or neuspeed?

And i think i will upgrade my exhaust sometime in the future, it looks kinda dinky right now, is the neuspeed cat back the way to go for gains? i like the way it looks and i'm sure it sounds great

i agree with chriz. same time it looks kinda dumb lowered with stock ugly wheels or stock height with totally player wheels

i was thinking about getting that Wetterauer chip seem good from what I have heard about it. also i know that H&R have both the front and rear sway bar... Also since most aftermarkets are only 20 and 21 in the rear you also have the option of just getting the new S4's 20mm sway bar for a stock fitment i think its a little cheaper than the rest as well.

Also alot of people have told me to go with the milltek exhaust, good performance yet not too loud at all. and look nice...

yah from what i hear the supercharger will get the most HP so down the line if you do that. Im thinking of that. they dont offer any turbo kits or any other big performance mods for the 3.0...


they have more for the vw 2.8's then for the audi 2.8 and 3.0
