Default Best performance mods

I've added an aftermarket exhaust and piggy back tune to my 2017 A4. I wanted to get some input on what other mods, big or small, that improve the overall performance. I'm thinking i'll avoid adding a catless downpipe due to the added noise on top of my aftermarket exhaust. I treat this vehicle as my personal and work car so I don't want to be too obnoxious in professional settings

Thanks in advance for your comments

I really like the front strut brace. It made a huge difference IMO.

I second the front strut brace.

I too have an aftermarket exhaust and switched from a piggyback to ECU tune. These two are the biggest performance gains for me.

From a handling, the biggest impact for me are the lowering springs (I also have the rear sway installed). The car handles so differently now and is much more fun to drive with the other two changes I listed above.

I have a rear sway bar in the garage waiting to be installed. Just need some time.
