    Time for me to do filters and spark plugs on the old lady. Ended up finding this kit on ebay, http://www.ebay.com/itm/221911976600...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Good deal?

    Not terrible but can be found for less from reliable, established European Parts Specialist's. I use an outfit in CT that is owned/operated by Audi nuts. http://www.emiparts.com They don't have an online catalog but are very quick to respond/ship. I've been using them for a couple pf years & my mechanic (ex head mech at a VW dealer) does a lot of work out of his home shop & uses them for everything requiring OEM parts. A somewhat larger outfit out West www.autohausAZ.com lists the group of stuff that ebay seller is offering for $151.19 w/free shipping.

    I can vouch for EMI. I live close enough to pick up parts from them and Andrew and Julian are excellent. They are also avid Audi fanatics so they know the cars.

    As ManyAudis says the guys at Emiparts.com are excellent. My mechanic who now works for Fedex after being top mechanic at a large VW dealership says Andrew & Julian are better than the parts guys at VW were! They'll also tell you when you should be looking at Genuine AUDI parts! In a few areas you might find better deals on Amazon or eBay but the only one I've seen are Akebono ceramic pads which the knowledgeable long-time AUDI guys have told me to avoid anyway! Emiparts sold me a set of OEM pads for my '08 A6 Avant that seem to have pretty much the same feel & bite as stock with slightly less dusting. I prefer quick bite as our area abounds with deer & manure spreaders!

    I am going through EMI to purchase those parts. Thanks for the recommendation. $148 shipped to my door. They are very nice guys and will continue to use them for part orders!
