First of all, the wheels aren't going to give you better traction. The 18's will be a better choice for three reasons: 1. Cost is less. 2. Ride and performance is better balanced than the 19. 3. Rubbing issues are minimal - unless you are lowered. If you are into the cosmetics, then you have a...

That's the one!

If you're asking if this is a good deal, then NO! A used APR exhaust should go for $650 tops (without a trade).

It doesn't matter really what year you get. All of the changes were mild "adjustments". It's a very subjective thing. You can find several folks who will say the 2000 is the best and an equal number of folks who will say the 2001.5 is the best. Just get the best car for the dollar value...

docurley is right, but I'd do the entire exhaust system - downpipes and cat back exhaust.

Two separate issues actually. 1. You can have the car chipped - I'm assuming the engine is the turbo, because the non-turbo odes not benefit from chipping. 2. You can have some or maybe all of these display ideas modded into the display via A VAG modification. Some guys in the states have...

Only a change in the turbo oil lines - they got bigger.

I use 16' Mille Miglia Action Sports on my 2000 S4 for winter use. I have Dunlop Winter sport tires. The narrow tread width provides better snow grip. I don't need any spacers (not a good idea anyway) and the rolling diameter is stock, so there are no issues whatsoever - even the speedo and...

Any idea if this crosse over to the United States?

Yep.

Thanks for the brief history jdp1962, but I still don't understand the obsession - and why would the government want to contribute to the egos of, "...these self-satisfied idiots"?? I mean why is it so important to "tell at a glance" how old a car is?? Big friggin' deal! Who cares...

[ QUOTE ] AndyMac said: Don't they take off the sports suspension as a matter of course if you specify an auto tranny? [/ QUOTE ] Never heard of that here in the States. snoop : It does have different springs and shocks, Slightly stiffer and about 40mm lower than stock. The front 29mm...
