How about some LCA, Competition Engineering 3-way rear shocks, and some Hal front shocks of some kind...
Might be alittle out of budget, but would make a nice improvement!

Suspension mods are fine..... after you run out of everything else to mod. Best Bang For The Buck (especially on an A4 car) GEARS (4.10's preferably). And with the remainder of your money, you can nearly get you a set of stickies.

My best time so far is 11.67@117 on the 100 shot. I have a tci 3500 stall, hooker headers with true duals, and bfg drag radials with the front sway bar removed. Those are the only mods that i have, and it is full weight. And i have subframe connectors.

i would go with LCA's and a tune for your car. With the nitrous and the long tubes, you probably have some power hidden in your engine that a tune could bring out.
