Change out the pads for ceramic pads like Akebono, they should be quieter and less brake dust.

Get OEM pads and zimmerman brake rotors, best bang for the buck
Though in my opinion, it's not the best looking Audi headlight. Although functionally/technologically inferior to this, my vote goes to B8 A4 HID headlights with that curved row of individual LEDs. It was characterful, and had exquisite design elements inside of it that worked in harmony with the lines that travelled around the car. Headlights in cars of that era were simple and boring and at best consisted of a round projector and another reflector for high beams plus indicators. B8 A4's HID lights were at a totally different level and shouted style and luxury. With these lights Audi started the game of DLR and using it as a design signature.
Peak Audi headlights are the S5 B8.5 headlights.
So peak that even aftermarket headlights for other cars call them "Audi style headlights" just like the Ferrari style or Lamborghini style headlights.
They are so iconic and unique that you see them and you immediately think audi.
I went with EBC Reds (ceramic, low dust) as they have a decent reputation. EBC brakes do not include the standard brake kit hardware.
I still use a factory Audi (Varta) from 2014, so 11 years, but I'm not sure it will survive the first -15-25C this winter.
Out with the old and in with the ngk 94833
Don't use AutoZone crap
I recently did a brembo 18z caliper install and sadly my Audi s3 wheels do not clear the calipers. Plenty of room around the barrel, but the spokes hit. i will be adding a 10mm spacer to make them fit.
The ~2014 Nissens, with the 15 round tube design just doesn't cut it. From what I can tell the car would've come with the 30 flat tube design. The Nissens just doesn't have enough surface area. On a hot day, with the AC going and highway speeds it just couldn't keep up.
I got lucky and found out my VIN was part of the class action lawsuit for water pumps, got that replaced for free.
