Ready for the the spring

[A4Triple Blk]

So I just finished getting a few basic maintenance things done to my car, and i'm ready to start some of the real modding to it. I just got brakes, rear rotors and an alignment and I'm due for an oil change again soon. In the spring i'm looking to do:

-Revo stage 2
-Bosch TT225 injectors
-Ecode Test Pipe
-Thermal R&D Exhaust
-B5 S4 Brake Upgrade
-Ecodes Black housing
-USP Front bumper
^^ Both Ecodes and USP Bumper due to a little front end action in the rain going down hill but they were on the list just a little further down.
-Front Splitter (not sure which yet, recommendations ?)
-Boost Gauge somewhere along the line too

After this I think I will be pretty happy with the car to get the funds back for some more mods. What do you guys think ? Any changes to that or things I should do ? Thanxx

Maybe the previous owner put springs on it.

BTW: Get the Cupra R splitter.

same... i sure as hell hope mine doesn't look THAT high... maybe its the picture angle.

[dfresh000]

wooh.. i would lower it before most of those mods. get your stance right then tweak out the engine. that ride height is painful to look at

[A4Triple Blk]

Guys I'm gonna be honest ... the car is not that high it has to be the picture. I get asked if my car is lowered everynow and then its gotta be the pic



its the angle right ?
and the 18" USP will help alot

[greyturbo]

looks like a truck to me

Sorry to break it to you two, but your cars are that high and you're in denial lol. It was just the angle of the picture.

No it won't bigger wheels and less side wall will make it look even higher.

denial is a stinky cologne (super troopers)...i purposely bought a car with non sport suspension...but heres some pics to prove my point

[akaEsCo01]

break out the measuring tape lol

[A4Triple Blk]

hahaha shitt ... looks like I gotta put in an extra few days for that suspension and that montster truck or as you guys put it ... my car ... lol is great

I think i saw you today

^^ hahaha

question tho ... I have done research on suspension and I have heard that if you don't do a full suspension the shocks will not support the new weight and pressure etc on them because of the springs and how it will give the car a harder ride and vice versa ... how true is this and how long can i wait if i just do springs and then save up for the rest of it ?

Very true with all cars, if you run sport springs which are much shorter than non sport springs with your non sport shocks/struts which have less shock travel than sport shocks/struts you will bottom out more than normally in turn shortening the life span of your shocks/struts.

You can last maybe 10K miles with brand new non sport shocks/struts. Depending on how you drive, it won't take long for them to give out though

okk thanx ... looks like its gonna be an interesting spring lol ... thanx alot guys

any recommendations for shocks/struts ?
