Default Available upgrades for B7 A4?

so, i'm pretty new to the whole modding thing. i just bought an 06 A4 2.0TQ and i don't really know whats available, or where to look. im interested in a rear lip spoiler but all my searches have come up empty. i really like how they look on the B6s but i dont even know if anyone is making them yet. i did see one thats carbon fiber on an s4 at the dealership, but i dont like that look too much. i also want to add the S4 door skirt things but i know those are available from the dealer. i've also seen some cars that have the rear lower bumper piece thats between the exhausts painted. is that an s-line part or do i need to get that from the after market? or maybe just paint the one thats already there. can anyone tell me some good companies that carry a lot of high quality aftermarket parts? thanks in advance for your help. i've got a lot to learn!

there are plenty of companies that offer aftermarket parts for our new b7's. Some sites are...gmgmotorsports, vagparts, apr(for performance upgrades), also dtm bodykits are now available through order from the dealership.

Default Re: What about suspension?

one thing at a time guys! i do have the sport suspension and this is my first audi with that so im going to give that some time to soak in. my first goal for performance is an apr chip. my first a4, a 98 1.8t, had one that the previous owner had installed and i loved it. we dont get 93 octane here in colorado, so im thinking i'll get the 91 octane program, along with the valet and the theft prevention.

Default yeah sport susp on the B7 is soo much better than it was on the B5..

its much stiffer.. but you would still love a nice aftermarket suspension .. it will hold the power of the chip better and brakes too.. less nose dive or raise when you gas it or brake....
and also alot less body roll too check for sway bars too

Default Might want to check with other companies...as they offer different options...

I.E. Revo has a fault code erase for a test pipe CEL...

I have APR myself, but if I were to do it again, I'd probably get the Revo solely for that test pipe CEL erase.

FYI, you need an aftermarket IC with their setup if you look to go to the Bigger Injector File.<ul><li><a href="http://revotechnik.com/locateDealer/zipResultsUSA.aspx?&amp;make=177&amp;zip=80303&amp ;dist=500">REVO CO Dealers</a></li></ul>

Default I agree with in regards to the OEM sport suspension.

It is very good, and spending money on aftermarket upgrades seems like a waste. Though I am sure there will be people that will disagree.
