Default Time for some upgrades


Hey all, I'm new to this forum and have some questions I'm hoping some or many folks can answer. I'm the proud owner of a '00 A6 avant I love the car and have owned it for 5 years. The car is going to crack 100k very soon and instead of shelling for a new ride I decided to put some cash back into this one. I know thru some research after market stuff is limited as far as bolt ons go. The car needs brakes, rotors, springs struts/shocks thought I'd throw some new rims and tires on as well. I know it's not the strongest platform for performance but I'm looking for a step above oem. Not looking to race the car, got plenty of bikes for that just looking for some nice upgrades.

Thanks for any feedback, Steve

PS...... someone please direct me to the link to break down my vin number.....I know... I'm a dumbass!

Steve,

2 things it is always easier to answer a question when you have the proper info. Like the motor of the car. This is a good idea to put in your sig to stop further questions. As for your sig I have seen GT cars out run bikes

www.speedtuningusa.com makes a chip for this car for not much$$.
H&R make sway bars, koni shocks would be nice.
I wouldn't lower it, mine scrapes too much already.
PES makes a supercharger kit if you're really feeling flush.

Link fixed.
Do a search for speedtuning, they've done a group buy for this forum before.
Great company to deal with.

http://www.speedtuningusa.com/products/audi.htm

Looks like 270 / 372 on the dyno for $275.00

Edit*** I've been reading some reviews and they seem mixed from hate to love. Anyone have experience with this one?

Speed tuning deffinitly pass. This is more trol tuning than real tuning. Stick with something proven. this is a audi not a accord.
