    What should I blow my money on???

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I was thinking while I was driving the other day (I know that's dangerous) about what I want the first official mod I want to buy for my car and I thought I'd get some opinions. It will be one of the following:
    -Pioneer AVIC D3 OR
    -H&R springs and 19's (Probably Gunmetal RS4 unless I find some others I like)
    If I do the springs a wheels it will be a longer wait because I'll buy the springs then save up for the wheels before installing them. The only reason I don't want to do those yet is because I don't really like the gray along the bottom so I sort of want to paint that first. If anybody has any other suggestions on other things to do, I'm open to suggestions. Thanks a lot!

    Moving to B6 forums...

    I'd get full suspension before getting the wheels. Do it right the first time and pay for one install.

    I would chip it first, with bigger EFIs, after that i agree on the coilovers and wheels.

    Painting your lowers should be the 1ST thing you do exterior mod wise. (opinion)

    Lower it, then wheels, then paint the lowers, then all supporting mods for what your intensions are K04, BT, or BAT (FMIC, Exhaust, DV, intake if you like, clutch)... this could go on for days......... go with your gut and enjoy..

    i'd say chip, suspension, then paint your lowers if you have to do exterior mods. Get wheels later and focus on some smaller things that will do more for you. Cause wheels and tires can cost a lot, i think you'd get more gratification from doing a couple good performance mods first and saving the wheels for later, especially since so many a4's have rs4 reps. Take a little more time to think, while doing some other mods, and maybe you'll also change your mind on what wheels you want.

    Roger that on the 3.0, guess I should be more specific...On the wheels, yeah a crap load of the Audi community has them which is my only concern, but they just look so freakin good! I like to make my rides appear stock while being far from it which is why I like wheels that aren't too crazy. As we speak I'm sitting under my carport waiting on silicone to dry on my headlights after I did the DIY clear corner. I just wanted to do that since it was simple and it will last until I learn more about my options on headlight assemblies.
