    New '08 A4 2.0T Q SE Mod Recommendations

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am new to Audizine. I have been driving a '99 A4 1.8T since '01 and absolutelly fell in love with AUDI. I had been planning on buying a new A4 and since they were releasing a new model (B8), I thought I would wait for it. I went to the dealership when the B8 was released just to look at the style. I was not impressed and decided to buy new B7. Got a good deal on it too. So, I now have a Deep Sea Blue Pearl Effect Audi a4 2.0 T Q SE, manual 6-speed with gray leather intrerior, Audi Navuigation Plus, and the convenience package. The first thing I need to do is change the suspension as the stock ride is jacked up. I am also considering a RS4 rear sway bar and the stasis ECU flash. I would apprecaite any recommendations on which coilovers to buy and which chips are better. I am unfamilair on what would void my warranty, which is why I would like to go with stasis products from AUDI, maybe someone can clear it up for me.

    I have been looking at the Stasis Street Sport Suspension, which are actually Koni products. Any word. This is an everyday car, so I would love a comfortable/factory like ride, with superior handling.

    nice combo! also welcome

    post pics asap

    i would do the audi sport suspension because it provides great handling with a comfort ride that isn't sacrificed (thats how i feel)

    try to not void your warrantee because the audi dealers/service department are really attentive to what mods you have

    Will getting the Stasis Street Sport Suspension installed at a local shop void my warranty? Or do I have to use Audi? The difference in price is like $600...

    CONGRATS MAN!
    I had the same situation as you just few weeks ago~
    so I got a b7 quartz gray s-line, loving every bit of it :)

    I'm thinking of what mods to put on as well~

    Audi007:
    I have a full S-Line, so I guess the suspension is the sports suspension you're talking about?? It's near the winter, and I think this suspension is good to be sporty and has good clearance height~
    If I go any lower... my car'd become a snow prowler...

    But for non-snowing days, except H&R, anyone has other suggestions for us??? :)

    The suspension I am thinking of getting is the Stasis Street sport Suspension Coilover Sytem, not the Audi Sport suspension. I'm reading good things about them, so I think my first move will be the suspension and a rear sway bar. Not sure if I should go with the RS4 or an aftermarket? I'm also really concerned about my warranty getting voided. Everytime I call Audi, somebody else has got a different answer. I may just cough up a few hundred and have Audi install. I'd much rather go through Quattrohaus in Newark,Nj. These guys mod rally cars and do great work. Willing to match prices on suspension too.

    Welcome! The suspension can't void your warranty. They can only not cover damage caused by 3rd party parts. If you blow your dv on a stock engine with a stasis coils, they have to cover it. Blow a Dv when your chipped, sol.




    That said:
    Check your sticker to see if you have the sport package (not the same as s-line). If so skip the coilovers for now.
    Rs4 rear sway bar: $150 one hour in the driveway.
    Black filler plate: $130
