I got my 2013 A6 2.0T about 3 or so months ago and have several regrets.

(1)It looks too high, anybody know of any aftermarket lowering kits that will drop it about 3-5 inches?

(2)This might be the biggest regret, not getting the 3.0 or an s6. I thought I would just use this lease as a business vehicle for work, but now I want the speed. Stasis tuning claims it can bump it up a bit with the exhaust in place, but anybody know any aftermarket 2013 2.0 A6 tuning/exhaust and other things I can do to boost up the hp and torque??

If you want to just show the car, then slam it all you want. If you want actual performance (speed), then for pete's sake, leave the suspension travel intact. A car riding on its bump stops cannot stick to the road well, as it cannot absorb any bumps, dips or road variations. Race cars are low because they run really high spring rates and drive on, well, racetracks. Road cars are not race cars - what works for the latter won't work for the former.

Check out this thread by jos4audi, he bought a 2.0 and lowered it. Looks pretty damn good to me.

Thanks manishaudi i appreciate that!!! Honestly 3-5 inches that sounds like way too much to me. I have the Quattro and sport package im not sure if OP does? If FWD non sport then go with H&R springs they have an application. If its like mine i went with the H&R quattro for the 3.0 they settled in nice its about 1 inch all around on the 2.0. As far as power yes the 3.0 is an amazing engine my wife didnt need that, but ill tell you whenever i drive the car im never disappointed!!! Look into tune i think APR will be doing something soon

I have Quattro, but no sport. I looked compared the 2012 and 2013 A6 2.0's, it seems that the 2013 one's are much higher.. I have can fit my whole hand (given I have small hands) handshake style between the tire and the fenders... there's about a 4 inch gap. The h&r spring's say it drops it approx 1.4''... not sure if that's enough... will post some pics in daylight..

Stasis claims to do an extra 43hp and 53ft lb of torque.. with exhaust, but when I click exhaust, there aren't products for it..lol

I just found that APR has a ECU upgrade. Called a few shops, $599 for stage 1 and $150 for stock software with $50 stock lockout security... apparently shop also wants to charge an extra $100 to remove the old ECU...

I've never modded a car before..and not exactly sure if I'm reading the gain charts correctly.. but looking at the figures, it appears that with 91 octane it says my peak hp is 229 (from stock 212) and torque at 323...at the "largest gain over stock" it then reads 35hp and 65 tq... what's the difference with these two figures? And then they advertise much higher figures for using 100 octane.

Waiting to install the H&R springs, looking around for a shop that won't rip me off. Anybody have a price range I should be paying for installing the springs + alignment?

Input on any of the latter two issues anybody?

I bought the H&R lowering springs off ebay for my 3.0T and the drop is perfect and fits the wheel well pretty tight, no rubbing. I can't remember what I paid (they're blue in color if that helps your search on ebay) and my local guy charged me $150 for install for all four springs.

Here's mine lowered:
