    if your not going to do much you could do a lid, filter, and catback. then if you decide to go into it further you could go with LS6 intake, headers, stall, or gears etc.

    catback exhaust. its something you can easily change back, its relatively cheap, but something that is really worth it.

    Start out with a Lid and a Catback.
    And because it's a droptop I would look into some Subframe Connectors (SFC) and maybe a Shock Tower Brace (STB).
    After that the single best suspension mod is getting Koni S/A's. Worth every penny.

    I would say do the lid and catback since it's cheap and the new catback will make it sound better and gets rid of the ugly factory tips. (I got a used Ls6 intake for $150 off a 02 when the guy upgraded his car to a fast 90mm, then a port and polished TB if a cheap add on).Since you got an auto I would get it tuned. My car is soo much better after they fixed the way it shifted. Long tubed and a new ORY or even a Y with hi flow cats will make a huge difference, can get pricey depending on the parts and who installs them.

    Actually not the whole list. I also have a A4 with ASP pulleys. Notice a HP difference but not sure if it's worth the charging issues and I have tried their alt pulley and several other and it still is low. Wish I had kept the stock pulleys but I'm waiting till I get a bigger alt.

    Start with the subframe connectors and the strut tower brace. Then, if you want a little more power, go with the lid & the catback.

    After that, what you can do depends on what you want to spend...

    wrong. we have coil-over struts on the front, shocks on the rear.

    Looks like everyone has given you their opinion, but you have to know what you want your car to do before you ask an open ended question. Smooth street car? Beastly track car? Show/garage queen?
