Allroad tune up
Being it tax season and I am getting a few bucks back on my return. I figured I should give my AR a few things but I'm not really to sure on where to start.
My AR is a 2003 6-sp with 131k miles completely stock. I don't even have heated seats :|
So far I've been doing some reading here and on Quattroworld on different upgrades I can do and have picked a few I like. Any input on them would be great or anything else more pressing some one thinks I should do would help.
APR Stage 1 93 Oct chip
Perrin Swaybar Links
Brembo Front Rotors and new pads

If you are going to do the chip, and I heartily recommend it, make sure you get the 91 octane program as well. There are more states that do not have 93 octane fuel than there are those that do.
Sway bar links are relatively unimportant and by themselves offer little to no improvement in handling. If you're looking for better handling, get Hotchkiss h-sport sway bars, also highly recommended.
Brembo front rotors are unnecessarily expensive unless you have already spent the $2500-$3000 for the Brembo big brake setup. Let me suggest Zimmerman rotors (not slotted or drilled) and Akebono pads. Both are high performance options.
Good luck.

A lot of us have put on the Magnaflow exhaust #16493 available from www.performancepeddler.com for a good price. I can't remember the "code" for the discount but a search of this forum or the allroad forum on qw should get the code for you.

Second vote for Hotchkis Sway bars. Impressive improvements for the $$ invested. They're sometimes available for around $400-450 shipped if you're patient and wait for a sale.
