What mods would you so first for a 16 s6

[fast shelby]

Looking to spend 4k on mods on a stock s6. What would be the best bang for your buck mods? I am looking to keep modding it afterwards just looking what people say it really needs. Has anyone done anything with suspension to make it handle better? Forgot to mention I will install the mods myself so no labor costs. I built my 67 from ground up.

The suspension is already really good. That being said, I did install H&R sway bars... 5-600
A stage 1 tune offers phenomenal performance gains without any extra hardware needed. (will void warranty) 500+
VCDS would be a worthwhile investment 2-300 bucks (highly recommend)
Ditch the OEM brake pads, they make ridiculous dust... Did mine under 150 (powerstop pads)
But really depends on personal taste... Tons of info on these forums

1) Front and rear sway bars
2) Downpipes +/- exhaust
3) SRM inlets intake
4) stage 2 tune, either APR or DS1

Depending on what you get, and with your own labor, should be able to get it at around $4k

5) Enjoy complete transformation

DS1 + TCU tune = $1799
This will give you stage 1-4 off the shelf tunes (OTS)

SRM intake = $895 plus shipping?

Brake pads = $$ depends on what you want. Can be had for <$200 all in

Remote start with mobile phone app = <$400

Downpipes/exhaust = sky’s the limit but downpipes can be had for ~$1500 without cats and with thermal wrap

Sway bars = $?

CarPlay = $200

VCDS cable = must have ~$200

Take your pick...easy to spend $4,000 right now and not be finished.

I agree with everything everyone said. The tune is amazing, I had both Unitronic and APR, but I preferred APR Tunes. Unitronic was nice because of the Flash at home. I got the APR Exhaust and the Down Pipes are on the way, so I will be APR all around.

I went with rotors from brake performance.com and I have ZERO issues, did those with Red Stuff pads. I also got the OBDEleven which was a great investment.

That car is almost flawless man. I still have a few things that I want to do to it too.

I want to join that telegram chat btw! haha.

Isn't PCV now covered til 80k? Why preemptively fix it if Audi foots the bill when it breaks?

Audi will cover it once it breaks provided you have not tuned the motor. It sounds like the OP will wind up tuning it and grenading the warranty.
