Default My new 4.2

This is one amazing car. It is our fourth Audi. Wid=fe had 3. But my first. I always thought them to be underpowered.boy did they fix the problem .Have always driven a german car and liked the quattro but not the lack of performance. Again great car,great forum. lots of info. Infact installed the cd changer with the info from the forum. What upgrades are people doing with theirs?

2001 A6 4.2
Silver/black/premium/17".

Default Congrats, nice color choice!

We all know that <B><I><BIG><font color="#777777">Silver</font></BIG></I></B> is fastest (well bestest anyway - you damned 2.7 people!).

Car is pretty spec'd out from the factory, nothing but a window tint for me (oh, and some vacuum proof door seals).

Default I'm getting one too!

I have a dealer trading for one for me it should be here by the end of the week or early next. it is a 2001 A6 4.2 Ming Blue x Melange x Premimum Package x Sport Package. I cannot wait, I have been driving a ford F-350 dually crew cab for 3 years. I want to get back to a car and I believe this one is the best choice I could make.

Default Rear sway bar upgrade question

I know this has been posted before but I'm about to upgrade my 4.2. Do you have the part # for the bar and bushings. I need to verify before I order the parts. Thanks.
