Default Bought the wife a SQ5

Whats goin on guys. Bought my wife a new car a couple months ago and have finally finished with the mods for right now. 2015 Audi SQ5 black optic package with only 1,300 miles.

Currently running AWE Touring exhaust with AWE non-resonated down pipes. H&R springs, powder coated the stock 21's gloss black. Added the Black out package by TAG Motorsports. Debating on a pulley and tune but don't want to lose my warranty. Wheels and maybe air ride later on down the road. Any recommendations of mods you think I should add would be great.

Cheers guys,
Anthony

Looks very nicely done!

I get my rims back this coming week. Did the same with them.

Good looking ride.

Have you done any VAG-COM (VCDS/Ross-Tech) convenience mods?
Easy to do and makes a difference.

Depending on your wife's ride quality liking, you could do sway bars or at the very least AluKreuz.

Preciate it man.

I'm a BMW guy and new to the Audi scene so your gunna have to school me on what VAG-COM mods are?

She hasn't complained about it and to me the ride quality is great.

What is AluKreuz?

For the VCDS you just need to buy a Ross-Tech cable.
Then you can do the convince mods, etc listed in the other link.
Ross-Tech: VCDS

AkuKreuz is chassis stabilizer. Helps the car go more point and shoot, in short.
Eurocode Alu Kreuz Billet Aluminum Drivetrain Stabilizer 2013 and up B8.5 A4/A5/S4/S5/Q5/RS5 EuroCode Tuning

Nice! Just bought .your wife and almost identical ride minus the black optics. How's the ride with just the H & R Springs. We test drove one that was lowered and she wants hers lowered.

Overall handling and corning is a lot better. Not as much body roll and almost no difference in ride comfort I can tell. The wife hasn't complained about the ride quality. Major upgrade in the looks department imo.

Very surprised with how much I love this car.

Debadge! Ignore the engine warranty and install a pulley/tune. The SQ5 stock is ok, a pulley and the tune make it just right!
