What would you do/buy for your s4 if you had 5k to spend on upgrades/etc.?
Looking for general ideas as well as interested in what some of you have already done to your Audi's.
Please post URLs of items & any pictures you have. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would love to see whats been done or what you'd like to do.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

The below are must haves, IMO:

Eurocode Alu Kreuz ($400)
Eurocode USS ($950)
APR Tune ($1500)

Then I would add the below if you want to track the car:

Stoptech or Brembo 380mm BBK (Prices vary, but I believe either can be had at around $3K if you shop around)

If you don't want to track the car, then I would add:

AWE Exhaust ($1800) and APR Pulley ($500)

OR

APR Exhaust ($2400)

and

APR Intake ($600)

Agreed with Helix on these:

Alu Kreuz
APR Stage 1

I'd also look to replace:

gray grille with a black one from ECS Tuning (~$550? need license plate holder)
white fog light bulbs to match LED color (~$50?)
19" after-market wheels + new summer tires

I'm at or over the limit there depending on wheels and tires.

Everyone seems to agree that new brakes are needed for tracking.

Seeing as I've spent nearly 5k on the car:
APR I ($1500)
Alu-Kreuz ($400)
Winter wheels ($2000)
Weathertech mats ($200)
Clear Bra ($1000)

Anyone care to summarize what each of these upgrades are about? LOL

The only deficiency on the factory car is the brakes. Upgrade the front brakes if you plan on doing any serious driving. You can spend $4k on this easily. $5k if you go top of the line brembo.

Otherwise, I'd get the APR software, the pulley (for stage 2), and the APR cooling performance system which includes a new radiator, a 2nd water pump, and a 2nd coolant reservoir. In my opinion, you shouldn't upgrade the power unless you also upgrade the cooling. Altogether that's about a $5k job and puts your car in another league.

Thank you...I think you forgot to explain what the winter wheels were for...LOL...joking!

Tom Feeney

Thanks guys - Anyone else have any suggestions???
Rims etc? Which if anyone has a nice set I'd love to see some pics. I don't really need summer & winter tires since I live in CA.
