Before modding... how is the rest of the car holding up? ie.. seats, springs, shocks, tires, brakes? May want to spend the money on these items first? my .02 R/ Al

along with about a billion other things. Look to you left at the main forum page at the approved forum vendors. First make sure the car is in tip top shape then see how far you want to go or how far the wallet will let you go.

Congrats on the C5. The guys on the forum here can help you spend every last dime on mods. Common mods are Long tube headers, with or without hi-flow cats and x-pipe, gears for A4, gears and torque converter for A4, cold air intakes such as vararam, Callaway honker, vortex rammer or whatever its called. etc. If thats not enough, you can do a cam or cam and heads or you can skip most of that and install a supercharger. You can upgrade your swaybars, shocks, springs and brakes. You can use the forum to help you determine the best mods for your goals and your budget.
