I currently have duralast gold ceramic break pads from 'the zone' and they never squeel or have any brake dust. I think they were 30 bucks I would definatly get them again or recommend them. Yeah thats what i figured on the gears, also I didnt see you were an A4 thought it was a stick. I havent replaced the tranny mounts but the owner before me did when he did the moter mounts, i dont know when those go but might as well do them too if there getting old

Door cracks? You may look into painting the interior, just taking off all those parts and spraying them, it looks great and freshens it up there was someone on the appearance section recently that did that, it would definatly solve that problem for you and make it look like new. If you listen to the radio at all i would get a new deck because the sound is 100x beter trust me, i went for a sony hu not very expensive and so many pro's (only con was i liked the look of stock). Ive been wanting to put in a new steering wheel also 
i hate the stock ones. You might want a new shifter also. The carpet and seats look brand new, at least from here

Yeah mine were blown when i got it, its funny i took them out and found that the **** thats wrapped around the cone is like paper or something ghetto like that, not even close to the quality of aftermarket ones (rubber or whatever). I ended up just glueing where it tore and it worked and doesnt sound blown anymore, pretty wierd/ghetto but it worked for me. I dont car too much about audio anyways..

Unless it starts to see the track often, im not gonna drop the money for a new rear end..as of now its just a DD street car and will most likely rarelyyy see the track. If mine breaks then ill have no choice but to buy a new one, i hear A4's are not as bad with breaking rears though, so ill hope for the best lol

A whole new rear would be a waste for a street tire, street driven A4 car. You'll blow the trans long before popping the rear under those conditions (unless you have wheel hop issues, but that can be controlled with suspension upgrades). Maybe you had bad luck with your particular setup, but many of us with A4s can cut 1.6-1.8 short times for several years without any 10-bolt issues.
