Default Upgrades

I have a '97 A4 1.8T quattro with about 66000 miles. I am getting a little bored with it and would like to start some upgrades. What is a good "wife" friendly spring/shock setup? I don't hear much about TAP chips. Are they good? I'm kind of leaning towards the Hoppen chip. I live in MN so I just got Nokian NRWs but I wouldn't rule out another summer only set.

Default Re: Upgrades

LLtek has a really nice looking intake. The wife shouldn't mind that one. It adds a little bit of performance but the best thing is the sound you get from it.(you can really here the by-pass valve). I have an APR chip in my car and its Great. These are two good upgrades.
