Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.

Bosch Wipers (very silent)
I’m working on my 08 GTI FSI and man she loves my paycheck like no tomorrow! But she is the greatest car I’ve ever owned. Congrats you’re going to both hate and love it!!! Check the coil packs! Mine use to misfire all the time. Brought it to three shops before I personally replaced all four and bought nothing but NGK or Bosch plugs.
Laser iridium or ruthenium from ngk
i just put the densos in my '17 alltrack with a stage 1 tune and they run noticeably smoother than stock. i gapped them to 0.026" before install. it didn't seem like plugs would be that important for a stage 1 tune so i've been surprised.
In Germany, tires cannot protrude significantly past the fenders of a vehicle. Specifically, German law dictates that the tire tread must be covered, and the tire should not protrude more than 5 centimeters (2 inches) beyond the wheel well.
I replaced everything on my front suspension at 150,000. Went with Bilstein B4s, but I wasn't super happy with them when they were new. They're well-damped, but ride on the stiff side.
Per VW service manual, disconnect if you're going to charge above 14.4V, never charge above 15V. You'd have to watch voltage while charging to see where the noco goes. My noco used to go slightly above 16V. Nothing exploded but the battery didn't last very long
Tires Kuhmo Solis. Eh weird wear causing vibration.
The Hankook Kinergy GT’s are abysmal. I’m partially surprised VW hasn’t issued a safety recall on them.
