Anything done to this car by anyone other than you(A shop) is going to be expensive.. What all are you looking to have done? Maybe someone in your regional forum is willing to lend you a hand if you can't DIY. Brakes are pretty simple.

Ask in your regional forum if you need help. It's pretty straight forward.

Rears are a little tricky if you don't have the tool to compress the piston, but it can be loaned to you at autozone, etc.

cool man. just checked out that link and that doesnt look to hard. i think me and a friend could do it ourselfs which is probably going to save me a ton of money! thanks again!

my word of advice: order rotors/pads and just do it all at once. I got stuck with my rotors needing to be replaced and have to wait for new ones to come in now.

well thats what i was going to do, so i took it to the local audi dealership had them check out the pads and rotors and requested and estimate. they had one of there guys check it out and said rotors were fine just need pads, and they'd get me an estimate tomorow. i'll look into it though. Halfto check out prices. do you know where to find decently priced rotors?
