actlsub9 your a genius! Well done sir. One thing, I think the Oetty rear is fiberglass.

[Shak]

Wow! This is great!!! Gonna be really helpful for all the new people

Let me know if you need me to host these images (image shack might be slow sometimes) and I've pretty much more bandwidth and space than I could ever use.

[Kemiksiz]

Thanks. And also, your post roX.

[actlsub9]

Thanks for all your help and replies

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...

[midn12ght]

nice! any chance you'll post up the part # for that usp rear?

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.

[actlsub9]

[roarincheetah]

1 question.

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]

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 Post any others you have here and i will include them.

[LAZY TURBO]

Where can i get tein s techs for 170?

[Blindsay06]

awesome thread, thanks alot for that.

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.

[RAVI]

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

[dga4]

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

[Gray Greg]

I'll make a sound clip for my exhaust to add to your list as well if you want...I have Oetty exhaust...great work
