Mine would be front pads £600 to start with
Not sure I'd want to be rid of the DRC so would opt for the kw coil springs with adjusters £650
Sports cats to complement the non res milltek
Mrc remap and de coke at same time
Arb's
4 good year f1's
Add to my security ;)
Spacers
And with the change a trip to monza :biggrin3:

What have I spent ? Lol

Only gone and doubled the budget :lol:


With 5k to spend I'd choose:
  • OEM optional Supersport DRC suspension
    Decent summer tyres (F1 or PSS)
    Decent winter tyres
    Gut pre-cats
    Carbon Clean + Remap
Sepang Blue B8 RS4, MY14, All option packs, B&O, Adv Key, Adapt Cruise, Pan Roof, Akrapovic Titanium Exhaust, + more.
Previous - Sprint Blue B7 RS4 Avant, Ceramics, Sunroof, SS+, Buckets, FBSW, Bluetooth, 2010+ RNSe
Previous - Phantom Black B7 RS4 Avant, Black Optics, Titan pack, SS+, Buckets, FBSW

Sam (or anyone else) how much of the budget do you reckon supply and fitting of SS+ suspension would cost? Something I quite fancy but I haven't looked into cost.

Worth having a read through all of this thread here, Stu puts up a copy of the invoice showing the parts his needed.

Thread link - viewtopic.php?f=35&t=110202&hilit=DRC

You're probably looking at around £1200 in parts and then extra for labour & DRC recharge, so probably around the £1600-£1700 mark I'd have thought. Well worth it though :nodder:
