Wow thats very elaborate, informative, and probably should be stickied.

Good work must've taken a while.. [up]

Edit: Although a couple of the links don't seem to be working, the first ABT Widebody link and the Oetty rear pic are faulty from what I've looked at so far.

[A4Shizl]

Really cool..and time consuming..

but your wet works garage grill is wrong. the link takes you to a wetworks garage lip spoiler..
by the way, my grill is a wetworks garage grill.

and you need to correct the phrase " Picture of Rieger Rear can be seen" under the sportec body kit heading...




nevertheless, great job bro..[up] [up] [hail]

Thanks for all your help and replies [up]

update: as i continue working on the rest of the suspension, i have gone back through the coilovers and hope to go back through the entire appearance section and add approximate prices as i feel this is important info

[skeeball]

This is why I think someone should host an A4 wiki. This kind of info is priceless and a wiki would mean that one person (Greg) doesn't have to do all the heavy lifting.

That said, I don't have the money for the bandwidth or the time to track down sponsers. Maybe something AZ could look into?

Yea i know what u mean, but i dont know if thats possible on the AZ vBulletin. Once i finish going through everything it will be much easier to upkeep and add little things here and there. Im more then halfway through with all of the main info although i still have to finish doing all of the performance including turbos, fmics, exhausts, clutches and all that good stuff. Plus I want to gather up all of the dynos out there and come up with a comprehensive collection. Ill see how it goes...

[slowturbo]

Awesome write up. Thanks for the help!

[A4Shizl]

something to add..

head light upgrades... ie:

HIDs, clear corner mod, ecodes, s4 ecodes, eye lids, ect....

for that matter, fog light mods and upgrades too...

yea thanks for the heads up. Ive started the performance section but i plan to go back in the appearance and do all of the headlight options, eyelids, and still have to do everything for zender, vizage, projectzwo, decorsa, je design, and some other manufacturers as well...

yea i would like to but i dont know it as of now, its a pretty rare mod since it will require the entire euro rear and euro rebar. Someone actually cut and modified their NA rebar and made a DIY for installing the USP rear but i think it got lost in the AZ crash. Ill try and see if i can dig up the part numbers needed for the conversion.

Can a B6 S4 "Cabriolet" rear bumper fit on a B6 A4?
Just making sure cause i know S4 sedan rear bumper is a direct fit, don't know about cabriolet.

If your talking about the s4 rear, as long as you dont have a USP they only thing you need is the bumper and the aluminum strip. All bolts and screws can be re-used from the a4 rear.

[actlsub9]

Alright suspension is pretty much finished up. I have sways, springs, shocks and coils. Ill add in another little section for the cpp adjustable controls arms and other less common suspension upgrades.

Any preferences as what to do next? Im thinking exhausts with as many sound clips for each exhaust as i can. I hope to have a clip for each exhuast with test pipe/ without test pipe.

[BlackA4Turbo]

[up] nice write-up and definitely an exhaust section with sound clips...it will help a lot of noobs like myself in deciding which exhaust to go with...without asking dumb questions like how does one sound....

[actlsub9]

Exhaust clips added [up] Post any others you have here and i will include them.

Only thing, why is the Thermal street louder then the thermal race, those are not to good of examples

Also my friend has thermal race on his bone stock A4 (still has the factory cat) and its not very loud at all, when he adds the GTRS kit and the test pipe is it going to get ALOT louder?

dont know, never took a ride in them, plus it would depend a lot on what shocks your going to use with them.

maybe add a DV/BOV list? hopefully that will get rid of the 2-4 threads a day about them lol

i have stock suspension not sport. I would probably upgrade the shocks but not immediatly

Yes the oetty would be great since they are one of the more rare ones and very few clips are around.

[dummptyhummpty]

Nope. Should I just put my camera on the side walk and drive by or what? It doesn't sound good unless it's moving.

There are many different things you can do. You dont have to do them all but they can include: laying camera on floor behind car and going through the revs, or having the camera mounted inside the car with the windows up/down to give an idea of inside the cabin noise, or you can place camera outside and do a drive by.

[roarincheetah]

Not trying to criticize, but I think you should list the modifications of the cars that have the exhaust clips (if you know them), because a stock car with and exhaust sounds a lot different than a car with a test pipe and a ko4. This way people can get a more accurate description and realize theirs may sound different.

i have already included with each clip if they have a test pipe or not because i know that makes a big difference. however i dont have the time to list all of the engine mods for every single clip

umm i think ive seen it listed at 3/4 inch but it may be more. Also the 2002 sport suspensions were about a quarter inch lower then sport suspensions in the later years.

Greg - happy to be a AZ Model for the 4" Vibrant tips!! =)

Good work! I am going to install my Eibach coilovers soon... i will get you the P/Ns for the A4 line so that you can add it to the suspension listings...

Is that the Sedan S4 rear bumper part number listed? What's the number for the Avant rear? I'm willing to bet its different.


EDIT

I think I just found it. Can anyone confirm this is the S4 Avant Rear cover?

In order to put the S4 front on a B6 A4 w/fogs, do you need to order all of the parts listed under S4 front at the top of this mod list??

btw, this post is AMAZING.........

for the tailights, your going to have to buy the lights and have them tinted yourself.

maybe something that would be good to add would be the spring rates for springs and coilovers.....

[notob6]

Does anyone know where i can buy the Kerscher Front bumper for $450 and no indentation for the euro license plate??? And for Carbon fiber hoods like the DTM karbon hood will i need to get that clearcoated ands stuff before i get it installed?
And i was just reading some other threads about cf hoods and they were saying how the cf hoods crack. Do you think it would be very smart for me to run a cf hood in chicago...all year round??

To my knowledge all of the spring packages are progressive springs and do not have a linear spring rate that can be measured. As for the coilovers, most of them can be ordered with a choice of different spring rates, and you pick whatever springs rates work best for you [up]

[Tomek6]

Great Writeup! You helped me a lot when I did my USP front a few weeks ago. The dealerships didn't even know these part numbers [up]

One thing I can suggest is: You have roof/truck spoilers for sedans but no avants. I'm trying to decide what to get for a spoiler and I can't find any pics or part numbers anywhere.

Ive got a B6 1.8T and want to put a S4 rear bumper on. After reading several post on here saying that it can be done i was more than happy and got the part number from this thread (8E5 807 301 S GRU) then proceeded to get a price from a Audi parts supplier her in the UK.

Now here come the tricky bit, the above part number is for a US spec bumper, will this fit on my European spec car and what is the difference with the two bumpers?

any help would be very appreciated. [hail]

thanks

Your going to want to get the euro S4 Rear which will fit on your euro rebar. Difference is the euro s4 rear is shorter than the NA S4 rear.

The ABT rear with stock exhaust and a set of dual tips welded on would be fine.

[a2a2pqk]

Really??? do you know which dual exhaust tip would work??
Because it was weird I wanted to order an ABT rear from my local dealer
and he insisted that I'll need the ABT muffler too which I don't want since it' pretty useless anyways..

Do a little research and find out the length and diameter of the tips on the abt exaust. Then find a set of aftermarket tips that are similar, and a good exhaust shop should be able to weld them to the stock muffler and make them fit in the abt rear.

yes you need all of the listed parts for the s4 front if you are trying to put it on an a4.....have fun, i was looking for a used s4 front for months and came up with nothing, all those parts brand new from vagparts will cost you over 1g.....at that point it wasnt worth it anymore in my opinion.......

[dougyfresh]

What is the euro license plate delete panel part number for the S4 front? The dealership gave me 8E0 - 807 - 977 - GRU and I do not see that in the listing here.

Dealership also said its around $120. Where can I source it cheaper considering my bumper cost less than that?

[tchristemac]

Great thread, the only thing I need to know some stuff for my B6 A4 cabby???

[ventovr6]

Thanks. Very helpful! I'll help with the USP rear part #'s although I did the DIY on the U.S. rebar so I don't have the part # for that.

USP Rear Upper Bumper Cover: 8E5-807-301-AE-GRU
USP Rear Lower Bumper Cover: 8E5-807-521-G-GRU

**the lower bumper cover comes with the black decal taped to the inside of the cover (masking tape). I don't think it has it's own part#.

Actually, there is the aluminum colored plastic trim piece that goes on the top of the bumper just under the trunk lid. I'll get that and the rebar # soon.

Where is the post to remove the lower half of the front bumper? Does the whole bumper have to come off.

I need post for the romovel of the back, side, and front lower halfs. Please help

[seph]

back lower doesn't really come off of the upper, cleanly at least, sides you just remove all of the plastic screws under the car and door weather stripping. front lower come apart from the upper but you will need to take the entire bumper off of the car to get at the tabs.

[18tboost]

Can anybody please tell me where can i get the spliiters for my lower front bumper?? THX!!

We might need to revise the OPs or just get a new sticky going. There are some more options out there for certain things, such as 3.0 intakes, Deval body kits, CF hoods and other bits, Rotora 355mm BBK and NEX 355mm front and 330mm rear kits, among other bits. I am willing to help if you want to go through this thread, revise, delete, and update. Let me know,

First time posting, been lurking a long time though. I am the owner of a 04' USP Sedan, and was unfortunately rear ended recently. I know some people look for part numbers for the usp/euro impact bar/rebar, and thought I'd share. (these are the part numbers i got off several estimates)

8E0807313S Impact bar/rebar
8E5807521GGRU lower bumper cover
8E5807301AEGRU upper bumper cover
8E58074433Q7 (estimate says rear bumper cover molding, I suspect it's the aluminum colored plastic trim piece that goes on the top of the bumper just under the trunk lid, since this piece is damaged but not included anywhere else, but not sure on this)
8E0807275C left buffer
8E0807276C right buffer

Hope this helps some of you.
