Thinking of doing some Audi Club DE events with the Allroad. I need advice...
I have an 02' with the 6MT and the APR software running. Other than that, the car is stock. I was thinking about doing some tasteful mods that would allow the Allroad to be better suited for these DE events while maintaining it's great nature on the road. The first concern is obviously brakes. I do have the S4 style 4 pad front brakes, but they will still be woefully inadequate in my opinion. Is there a reasonable priced upgrade that will perform adequately on the track and without spending $1500? Also, I do not want to give up the benefit of the air suspension on the street, but would like my car to handle better. What handling mods would you suggest? Finally, I know with the MY 02' 2.7 is basically the S4 motor and is built more stout that later 2.7s, but is there anything that I should be worried about upgrading with the motor or tranny before I take it out to do this? I appreciate any feedback that you have.
Thanks,
Pat

Re: Thinking of doing some Audi Club DE events with the Allroad.
Bring the Allroad stock or bring the S4.
You'll have fun. Brakes always a good mod to do first.
Depending on which state you reside in, your local chapter may be the NAAClub.org.
As a resident of any state, and an ACNA member, you can attend any Audi chapters' events. :-O

Pull the chip out and come to the track. The car already knows how to go fast,time for you to learn
Plus the chip only adds more stress to everything...the motor, the turbos, the brakes, the wallet. The brake upgrade referenced below is fine, but why not wait and see if you enjoy it before sinking $$ into it.
The fun part is taking corners fast, not straights. At the novice level....The car will corner the same with 250hp or 500hp.
