Default Driving a 1993 S4?

Hey i just have a few questions..
I recently bought a Audi S4 1993. I absolutely Love the car. My first car too
anyways i was just wondering what type of abuse can this car take? i mean i dont want to burn it to the ground but i do want to have fun in it. In the next few months i will be making it better so to speak. Any advice or any tips or anything would be very appreciated. I would love to hear any comments you may have about the car or any things i should do? JUST ANYTHING lol..
Oh also wanting to lower it a bit i think. i will post a picture soon enough and tell me what you think?
Also if anyone has any reccomendations for the type of springs to get?

I also have another question if you dont mind.. So i have had people tell me that with turbo you need to let the car run before stopping it after driving around to let the turbo cool properly. Is that a Myth or fact?? if so how long do u let it cool for?

thats true, especialy if the car has been driven hard. if you simply turn off the engine the turbo will still be very hot will no oil circulating, this can lead to oil baking in the turbo. If you simply let the car idle for 20 seconds or so this should be enough.

You can buy turbo timers that do this for you.
