Default recent mods installed, my thoughts...sorry no pics yet

I finally got around to getting all the mods I had sitting in my house on my car. The car rides perfect and exceeds the expectations I had. The car is a 99.5 2.8Q.

Current Setup:
AWE DTS
Strat SS
Neuspeed rear Sway (stiff)
CPP swaybar links
TT caliper Carriers
312mm A8 slotted front rotors
B6 A4 3.0 rear caliper carriers
C5 A6 255mm slotted rear rotors
Hawk HPS pads all around
18" RS4 reps wrapped in 235 rubber
Remus exhaust

On the Agenda, just have to find the time:
PES G2 SC
APR snub
ECS ultimate TB kit
Motul 600 RBF
SS brake lines (front/rear,Goodridge)

AWE DTS - no slop, tightened shifting, coupled with the Strat SS it feels like I'm cutting through the gears, very precise
Neuspeed Rear Sway (stiff setting)- car stays very flat, more predictable, back end stays planted
A8 front brakes, C5 A6 255 rear rotors (Hawk HPS) - The car does not dive forward as much, it just stops really well and has yet to lock up on me, even stopping from 75-0 pretty hard. My favorite mod to the car yet, it stops in a hurry and the noise level from the pads is low.

It feels great to have a car that is dialed in handling wise, I can't wait to throw the SC in there.

Default Me too!

I have all if not most of those upgrades. Just put the DTS in this weekend; had the parts for 2 years, but had an issue w/ the dampening block (see pic poster).

I have the same brake setup, and love the feeling of being able to stop. Makes an interesting whirring noise when I really get on them.

I have the G2 in my garage and ready to go...just need some time to install.

Sell it or put it in, if you don't do it soon you'll want a new(er) car before you do.
