Hey guys, brand new to the Audi scene, I'm a long time VWvortex member and I wanted to introduce myself,
I recently traded in my Golf R for a 2013 Glacier White S4
Options are MMI, B&O sound, keyless start, sport differential and silver alcantara seats
I feel that I was incredibly lucky to find this car, exactly how I would have ordered it.
First thing I want to do is some bilstien PSS10's or KW V2's
I tracked my Golf R 3-4 times a year, and I plan on doing the same with my S4
I'm waiting on tuning because it is a CPO and I want to make sure the engine is solid before I dive into that
When I do decide to tune it, I'm going GIAC W/ pulley
What is our clutch rated for? Will I be ok running stage 2 with an OEM clutch? Or should I budget a clutch as well?

if you plan to track, you'll likely need/want an upgraded clutch. On normal daily driving with spirited driving time to time, the stock clutch has served me well on stage 2. I have never tried to launch my car and dont plan to ever do so for fear of starting clutch issues.

Thanks! Do we have to upgrade the flywheel/pressure plate on this platform? I have seen south bend kits that utilize both the stock flywheel and a new one. Anyone know the clamping force of the OEM pressure plate?

Congrats! I was torn between Glacier and Ibis white but ultimately went with Daytona Gray. Go figure. You chose wisely!

Such a nice color combination. If you need pricing on a set of Bilsteins or KW's let me know [:)]
Most importantly, good luck with the car, they're so much fun to drive.
