Dont do clear corners, and dont do just springs.
Clear corners look like ***, because they will be much more clear than your headlight.
Just swapping springs, will have your shocks pooched very quickly... then you'll need new shocks anyways, and have to pay for a second allignment.
Chip your car, its the best bang for the buck. 50 hp, 80+ lbs of torque... 500 bucks.

No doubt in my mind that a chip and a 710N diverter valve will give you the best bang for your buck other than routine maintenance.
Don't know how many miles but, "Let the maintenance begin".
When was your timing belt, front engine seals, water pump changed? If over 70K on the timing belt your are starting to push your luck.
Swap out every fluid/oil in the car. Use only Audi replacements. This includes fresh synthetic oil, Pentosin power steering fluid, front, central and rear differentials, transmission, brake fluid, G12 coolant.
Check the brake pads.
Change the air filter if you don't know when it was last changed
Check the CV boots for cracks.
Fix anything that is broken.
When were spark plugs last changed?
Borrow a Vagcom and check for any stored codes and have those dealt with
Then you are ready to mod
