Re: IMO.........
It is not that we, or I, am without an original thought in our heads but, I agree with the following notation, how to achieve "happiness" with your Audi allroad: (some editorial enhancements).
1: Buy a 6spd (if you do nothing else on this list, do #1)
2: premium rubber (either 245 x 50 x 17 or 245 x 45 x 18 -- with new wheels)
3: upgrade brakes (stoptech) -- (optional for most daily driving, but very worthwhile)
4: 402 mod (at least -10mm)
5: short shifter (with the understanding that while the throws will be shorter that the effort will be somewhat higher)
6: chip (or, if available, direct port programming)
7: sway bars (H sport or at least the Audi PSK rear + bushings)
8: remove 605/628 (personal preference, I like my steering the way it came from the factory, for example)
9: stonger TBB and clamps (AMS) (especially if chipped)
10: upgrade DV's (sometimes called BPV's and should be done with a chip for sure but the improvement is real even if you don't chip).
Secrets? The door locks can be programmed to lock and unlock automatically but on 03's at least, they tend to come and go as they please.
Tips? Don't buy a tip.
