I had Akebono pads on my A4 and will be getting them for the CC, they stopped great and the dust will much much better than OEM.
Audi parts reviews
I'm running Akebono ceramic pads, good price, no dust and brake nice for an OEM setup.
The new Goodyear 245's I got are killer.
OK, then what works for me is Castrol Syntec 0w30 European Car Formula.
The old AWD hitachi coils are far more reliable in my experience. I would not change to the awp style from the bolt downs. I have had ~8 failed AWP coils over the years on my 2001 audi/2002 gti and I have 8 hitachis now in my 2 1.8t's for a few years now and no hitachi failures. This is with track days on the gti. They also bolt down so you won't have them popping up on you whack a mole style like the awp ones sometimes do
I've got just under 200k miles on my 12v VR6 and I use MMO at every oil change. I've been running 4 3/4 quarts of synthetic oil and 1/4 quart of MMO at EVERY oil change for almost 100k miles and the thing runs like a top.
The tires are 235/40/17 Advan Neova AD07 tires with about 8/32 or 80% tread depth left. By far my favorite tires I've ever owned suuuuper sticky, unfortunately I didn't have them long enough to get a track day in on them.
Ask for PPG or Pilkington replacement glass. OEM glass from VW/Audi is $$$ (and has to be ordered), and both PPG & Pilkington are OEM glass manufacturers. Cheaper alternatives are not any less "safe", but don't always fit as well, which can lead to stress cracks.
I have had pilkington glass before and they are a decent piece of glass, but not nearly as strong a Sekurit.
I owned it ONE day when the AC stopped working. The compressor was an original Zexel.
