[Biturbos4] Welcome to Me!!!

[docwyte at comcast.net]

Congrats on the purchase.  I have a santorin (dark blue) with silver leather avant.  

Don't bother with the strut bars, they don't do anything but add weight.  For springs and shocks I'd recommend either H&R or Neuspeed springs with bilstein shocks.  Make sure you get the bilsteins that have the ride height adjustable grooves front and rear, that way you can tweak the ride height a little.  

A chip makes a huge difference to the car, as does an exhaust.  The chip is far and away the best bang for the buck.  The main audi website is www.audiworld.com...
