I know I will get nothing but grief from this group(Kevin), but I am encouraging Nick to keep it stock, or close to it for his initial forey into performance driving.

I would not be nearly the driver I am if I had not driven my A4 in Stock, and near stock configuration for about 3000 track miles before retiring it, and building my first "track car".

Probably 600-1000 of those miles were bone stock on All-Season tires. Then it got a chip, and wheels/tires, and near the end, front brakes.

Nothing will teach you to drive better than a soft suspension, and crappy tires combined with lots of seat time.
