Default autox with a4 update

just got back from autox event today and have some updates..have started to do some mods as follows... zo6 sway bars, lowered 2.5 turns on rear bolts, 3 turns on front,hawk hp plus pads, vararam air intake... [ this is done to 98 a4 coupe, 3.15 , f45, b&b mufflers, hoosiers on 18"s all around]...

the cars that were a few seconds faster [ zo6, zr1] were now doin some catch up!!. i actually beat a target zr1 in the event run, and was beat by .7 in time only runs... wow! not bad for a stock a4.... :hurray: the zo6's had to work very hard to match my best time and most did not !!! my car was one of the fast vettes at the meet :hurray:

thanks to all the forum members who gave input in past threads about autox !! :flag i have the kooks long tubes in the garage waiting to be installed ... gonna do it with some other mods to complete the setup and then have a blast raving it in every meet i can get to!!! :auto:

here is a review of the mods
1.zo6 sway bars.... if you dont have them get them.. period....
2. hawk hp plus pads... squeaky....dusty... incredible stopping power!!!!
3. adjusting ride height.... easy!!!... lower = better cornering...a++++
4. vararam... just like the ram air being picked up from behind my zo6 screens... a+++++

simple mods that have had great results!!!!! :thumbs: :steering: :thumbs: :
