Default Anyone modified their final drive ratio?

I have seen a few posts lately about upgrading the transmission on the A4. I seem to remember some discussion about modifying the final drive ratio to the EU version. I don't think anyone said they had actually done it but I would think it would be far cheaper than swapping out the transmission.

Has anyone done this? If so what did it take (parts, labor, etc.).

Default Just think of it as a treasure hunt . . .

Every box has junk AND goodies in it. The Amsoil box is one of the best. More unopened little baggies of Audi factory parts than you can shake a stick at.

Be careful, some of the lighter boxes have headlights, etc. in them. I did find BOTH Bentley's, the one in VGC and the one still in the plastic wrapper. You can pull the struts, strip, and paint them - because there is a full set of replacement wheel bearings!!! (Double check the size.)

Some of the stuff is for 10V engines, I thought Fluhr might be able to use it.

They are a little too close for high speeds on the highway. Driving 160km/h(100mph)+ is noisy
