I'd say enjoy the car for a few thousand miles or so before starting any major upgrades.

I highly recommended upgrading the sways first. I prefer UUC myself, but both RD and UUC are GREAT upgrades...

you should get the very expensive parts out of the way like wheels. i'd say wait a little bit before changing the suspension.

Your first major upgrade is to get some air freshener, otherwise the smell of pussy will linger in your car. Get used to it, a BMW drop top = pussy magnet. Nothing like getting top piece while rolling out on 95. Wish I could've gotten a 330, I could only afford a '00 323 cic. Have fun with your new car...Nice Audi, too.

i'd say that all of the above are great ideas...but u really have to know what you want out of ur car as well as what your budget will be for the car...if ur not able to define a budget for the car, it is difficult to come up with a plan for what u do to it...this, i realized after emailing dondon a few times about performance questions...

course, if u have a neverending pocket w/ lotso cash....

as for me...im thinking along the lines of jawknee and cadenceX
texas lotto baby...big money ...ok, im dreaming...but one can do that right?

my car is around 1300 miles now..and i ordered ACS type II 18x8.5 with toyos with the H&R Cup Kit. also smoked corners, and pedals...im going to dinan in a few weeks to get the automatic transmission software download and the intake and maybe the chip..dunno yet..
