congrats. i have essentially same car but a 95. replace all rotors
-stock brembos r fine. repco pads good value, invest in a few feet of german cloth braided hose (1/4 inch) .& replace as many vacuum hoses in engine bay as visible, cut new hose just a bit longer & remember that plastic nipples r brittle (time/heat) and many one-way valves r nla; take ur time. tighten all clamps. if any a/c & coolant issues do not wait. as a rule use only oem german parts, dealer is last resort. find an audi mechanic.
took me 'bout a year to set my car up, now
it's the details (*$!*), btw the v6 has 2 cat cons., forget gas mileage,
expect mid 20s avg., premium only ...but what a great car!
