Default New to s4's

Hello, I just purchased a bone stock 01 6sp silver s4.My previous car was an 01torch red z06.I do plan on keeping the car for quite some time. I was hoping for some advice on what parts i should be looking at obtaining. So far: AWE chip, s-flo intake, H&R sport springs, bilstein shocks, Mintex Redbox pads. Any thoughts?

Looks good. whats your milage and stuff. Read the S4 faq at the top and make sure your Timing belt been done. Get a boost guage to make sure your running proper boost with no leaks and replace that Throttle body boot and diverter valves. then your good it go.... Also the S-Flo, ehhh mixed feeling but the popular concensus is that its not worth the price. Doing the Darintake mod is almost just as good and its totaly free
hope it helps. but yes deffinatley read the FAQ at the top ofpage.

What kind of part are you wanting? Maintaince, go-fast?

IMHO, the stock suspension sucks! The nose dive under breaking just PISSED me off.
The brake pedal is a little soft.

Read the FAQ at the top of the page. After the normal maintaince is done, chip, & DV's, exhaust, coil overs, stainless steel brake lines.

Then wait for the K03's to blow, so you can spend some real cash to make the car fast.

Why should i get SS brake lines? They seem like a waist of money sinceI am not going to track the car. Correct?

Pedal feel, & much better modulation. The stock brakes suck!
