    What software are you running? Did you not upgrade the FPR or injectors?

    As long as your software and associated hardware (fpr, plugs) are correct, you should be fine. Just keep up with timely engine maintenance, and if you're running an older A4 (I believe up to '98 had problems with the lines), make sure you have the updated oil lines. Other than that you should be fine.

    Depends on the kind of drop you want. Do you want it rather low or just enough to be noticeable.

    That's completely up to you. do some research and find out which setup sounds like what you're looking for (various combinations perfomance vs. ride quality).
