Agreed... Stock means factory trim, no different than any other car with the same factory options
Once you've done something to differentiate your car from every other car of the same year and options, you are no longer stock!
Welcome to the darkside Mike... its time for suspension and bigger brakes!

No need for bigger brakes
Usually it's like this:
Larger wheels.
Okay now I need a good suspension.
Track it. Handles great but I'm slow as a pig.
Chip it.
Great now I can tear down the straights but my brakes now suck.
Upgrade brakes.
Okay I can go fast but I want more power.
Upgrade exhaust.
Okay now I'm cooking the brake fluid.
Then upgrade to stainless steel brake lines and better fluids.
Now my shifting is slowing me down.
Upgrade to a short shifter kit.
Car's still too slow.
Upgrade to stage 2....
Okay need to lighten up car.
Upgrade to forged wheels and these now are my winter wheels LOL
and so on and on and on ... sorry not on a leased car

I got them through Independent Tuning, so give them a call for a quote
The price for OEM Audi's will probably cost an arm, a leg, a kidney and your left lung. Replicas are cheaper, though if you go for the forged replicas, it gets very pricey!
