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.

A big part of me agrees, and I'm going to try and keep stuff stock for as long as possible.

I completely agree with Dean. If a car is brand-spanking new, there's no need to immediately go changing things. Drive the car for a while, get a feel for it, autocross it, etc.. after a while if it's disappointing you in some way, *then* change it.

Yes, I can already feel the need for stiffer suspension, but I'm still going to wait a bit and get used to the car.
I still feel like a stranger in it.

Hey Dean, those are just Alt+ chars. The font wouldn't accept a heart symbol, so I had to go with the face to simulate the home environment.
