You can see a ring, that allows for hooking up to a nav/pda unit. You pull out the vent, put the ring behind it, and reinstall the vent. On the ring, is a mount. You can get a palm pda with tomtom, or a tomtom, or garmin, and it'll install on your ring/mount in seconds.<ul><li><a href="http://public.fotki.com/ttschwing/gadgetts_and_stuff/the_gadgett/">http://public.fotki.com/ttschwing/gadgetts_and_stuff/the_gadgett/</a</li></ul>

just kidding! Real nice and I love that front plate.

How much do coilovers and/or sway bars improve handling? Is it incremental (5-10% improved), definite (+25%), or indispensible (50+%)?

RyanS3

I have two A3s at home. The gf's is a stocker 2.0t.

rsb is around +20% which is very exciting.

coilovers +25%, as they aren't the most harsh set on the market.

rsb is the first thing I'd do, to any fwd A3.
