Smile A6 Modifications - Newbie needs help!

I have no idea where to start and googling is giving me vague answers...

Its really simple.. I have a stock A6 2008...I love it...but I want to make some nice subtle changes

I want the gap between the tire and frame of the car to be less than what it is now.. prefereable about 1 inch or so.

I would like LED in my headlights

If possible some RIMs suggestions.

Where can I go to get the best information on this? I'm searching for like Audi performance shops and stuff, but they dn't come up.. .I'm in Southern Cal...


C
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Try the Hartmann site for new rims. I would also suggest getting a larger rear sway bar to improve the handling. Take a look at the H&R site. As far as cosmetics, take a look at Madaudi.com

Default Springs?

Kevin, would H&R's springs provide a decent drop and stability? I was thinking about changing my wheels, so I figure the springs would drop the car to fill in the wheel well while providing a bit better handling. That madaudi.com site is great, by the way.

Kev,

Hey Kevin thanks for providing that madaudi.com site... VERY NICE! Quick question: My '05 A6 doesn't have the iPod interface; and I went to an Audi dealer and the dude told me it would cost $900-$1,200...But on the site it's listed for $64... Is the site missing a part or is the dealership just trying to get over???

On the Madaudi site you were looking at just the cable. The CD player in the 05 needs to be modified so that you can plug the cable into it. If you do not want to go OEM, there is an outfit called Dension with a product called Gateway. Unfortunately they lost there US distributor and you have to buy it through Canada.

Awesome.. most of these shops are parts only right? Is there a 1 stop shop where I can do parts and service? If not then where do I get the service from? Audi dealership? for example lets say I buy the HR Coil Over to lower my car...where do I go to put them on?
