go to audizine.com, a4mods.com, audiworld.com....all these sites will help you out. Im relatively new to the world of audi as well and every is going to tell you to go do the research because well....its been writen 100 times over. Rims you can go up to 19 comfterably, cold air intake you will lose HP, exhaust theres a few...your car on them...neuspeed, APR i think has one, milltek....

Get a chip and larger injectors for power - exhaust for sound (little to no gains in power). Or go with a BT with all the supporting mods and have an ear to ear grin with great gas mileage !!

OEM wheel offsets are quite high (thus the reason why the wheels are never flush to the body). I had 18X8 OEM wheels (42 offset) and added 8mm spacers in front and 15 mm in rear to get this:

Nice!
I'm actually looking at moving up to a USP Avant but the b7s are really tempting too! Especially an S4 good choice

Thanks (again). I love the seats, the sound, the power ... One thing though, where I'm saving in mod money, I'm spending in gas
