Ok Wett, shocks and suspension. <p>It seems like shocks/susp 1st and Wett 2nd (yes??)<p>Who likes what for shocks and susp?<p>No one mentioned sway bar (too dicey??)<p>I am running fully stock A4 right now (I figured I'd wait and see what folks are happy with before making bad choices)<p>Only mods so far are strictly asthetic (tinting, clear sides and corners).<p>I think PES is out of my price range right now

Save your money and don't get the Wett. 30V chip.<br>Garrett at $300 or Neuspeed at $139 will save you a bundle over the $595 RIP OFF from Wett. Look at going with Eibach or Neuspeed springs with Bilstein shocks. You could get anti-sway bars with the money you could save on the chip.

If you don't mind a very firm ride, you may like the A!AvantGarde suspension. I have that kit as well as the Wett chip on the 30v. I am happy with the chip, although, I have not tried any others - so I couldn't compare.<p>With the A!AvantGarde setup, I don't feel there is much need for sway bars. The cornering is very flat and neutral. The Koni/Eibach setup I drove on another A4 did exhibit more body roll than the A!AvantGarde kit does, so sway bars may be more desirable on that setup.<p>If it was me, I'd get the suspension first, then a chip. Also, you didn't mention exhaust. A cat-back exhaust will probably get you the same type of power increases that a chip would.<p>Mike<br><ul><li><a href="http://www.mck.com/a4">Northeast A4 Group</a></li></ul>
