The Conti’s seem to be the best bang for the buck (as were the departed DW).
Pros: best bang for buck

Not true, many VW 4cyls came with forged cranks and pistons, the slugs in my TT are Mahle and known to handle over 400hp easily, the only things you need for a 1.8T to be basically bulletproof are forged rods and a new timing belt kit.
Pros: handle over 400hp easily

I managed to get my hand on a set of MK1 Audi TT front and rear brakes for a steal, also round the corner to my work which was even better. This takes my front brakes from 288mm up to 312mm and takes my rear brakes from 232mm solid discs to 256mm vented discs.
Pros: bigger front brakes

Replaced my fans, and the fuse box/tray so far so good.
Pros: so far so good

Stoptech Rotors and SS Brakelines, Tyrolsport Caliper Guides and Hawk HPS pads.

replaced it with a Bosch water pump and that thing is still going strong. Great warranty, too
Pros: still going strong

Run EBC red and be happy. Much better than Hawk HPS (or even HP+ for certain use), and not comparable to the Akebonos because those (Akebono) are really low dust pads with no bite for a heavy and sporty car like the TT.
Pros: much better than Hawk HPS
Cons: no bite for heavy car

I'm going to swap the Conti belt I installed for a Gates (OEM on this car). I'll let you know how it goes.

FWIW - I used EBC yellows with S3 single piston calipers on the track with both my A3 and now my TT. The EBC usually only lasted one track weekend, prone to brake fad, and ate up the rotors (both stock and StopTech) pretty bad. I have Pagid RSL29 now on the front (with EBC rotors), and they are fantastic on the track. I didnt realize how much the yellows under-performed until I got the Pagids. Just passing it along...
Pros: fantastic on the track
Cons: prone to brake fad

I've had NT05's on my TT and they lasted one season, and I couldn't drive in the rain.
Pros: needed for traction
Cons: lasted one season
