    Advice on '14 S5 mods

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    So, I came from a 2011 S4 DSG - replaced the transmission 6 months ago - then was approaching 80k miles and started throwing CEL's - I started to get nervous using the car on longer distances (I also have a '15 M4) - anyway, I found a super clean low mileage MG/Black '14 S5 - fully loaded and I got a decent trade in on the S4. I negotiated swapping the Roc Euro intake from the S4 onto the S5 - now to figure on the next mods. Best tune/pulley for my buck? DSG tune? Coilovers? I like the '15 RS5 wheels - think some 20' reps...oh and the grille - I'm not going to murder the car out, so I think I'll go with the silver RS5 grille. I got to say the drive on the S5 seems so much more sophisticated than the S4, but I do miss the APR ii tune and Stasis exhaust.
    Also, I found a KW coilover set for sale for the pre facelift - will these work on a '14?

    Same tunes as the S4, same motor. Shop around as prices are good now for some tunes. As this model has been around for a while now I'm sure most of your questions are already answered.

    AWE exhaust for sure, I went GIAC stage 2 + and have been loving it. Some other things would be the alu-kreuz and the strut bar that was made by someone on AZ, forgot what it was called. Not sure if those coils would fit but the car has to be lowered. Oh, and of course VAG COM mods.

    Coilovers will fit, they're the same across all B8 platforms. AWE exhaust, GIAC stage2+, alu kreuz, trans/diff mounts, ecodes, the usual you know. I also suggest going for the black RS grille. The aluminum one kinda sticks out like a sore thumb on darker cars imo.

    I've got an OEM RS5 grill and OEM RS5 wheels/tires that I ran on my '14 S5. I plan to post an ad soon but they are available if you're interested?
