mods/maintenance to s4....suggestions?

[indianpryd]

hey everyone,
im doing some maintenance/mods on my s4. its somewhat close to the 80k mile range now(78,645) and i was wondering, at this point, what are things to replace on the car, and what are things that are usually prone to going bad around this mileage?


the things i am considering doing to my car are

-Tip Chip(any feedback?)
-Lowering(most likely h&r + bilstein, any feedback?)
- Timing Belt/water pump/thermostat/seals/serpentine tensioner
- Windows are getting tinted(not really a big mod)
- sway bar
- ECS coil over sleeves

Any other MODS i should add to the list to consider? or should this about cover it for a decent car?

Maintenance wise, i will have the car inspected, but hopefully the timing belt is the only thing that needs to be worked on.

i dont think this has ever been discussed before......ever

isn't the timing belt a 100k mile job?

Get the Timing Belt and etc done right away. are you lowering your car for looks or performance? If you want performance gains and money isnt a issue i would go with bilstein pss9 or stassis SS. There are many many things that start to go on this car around that mileage... SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH

it would be more for looks, but performance wise, i dont want to suffer just because my car is riding lower

if you have the money go with Bilstein...If not stassis all the way
