Hi, I've done a similar upgrade on my Golf MK2 back in 2012 using 280mm front disks from a Golf mk3 GTI and Audi S3 calipers.

Replaced my fans, and the fuse box/tray so far so good.
Got the Matrix LED headlights and can say they are awesome. Good light all around and those automatic high beams are superb.
They're incredibly bright and clear with perfect color temperature.
Mine smoked like crazy and was using about 1 quart per 100 miles, which for the previous owner caused engine failure. I rebuilt the motor and used the old valve cover and ultimately had the same issue. Replaced the valve cover and it hasn't used a drop of oil over 6000 miles.
They replaced everything brakewise, pads/discs/calipers/.. and everything on charge of Audi ofc.
I would put money that its the Rotors. Particularly the passenger side. The last time I swapped my passenger rotor was .040 off in one direction, and drivers side was .002 in one direction .003 in the other.
How can one tell with the control arms are going? It really seems ridiculous for them to wear out that often.
I’m IE stage 1, had the plugs changed to rs7 plugs I had been waiting to Install (they were early versions) not long after, left the shop and had horrendous misfire. Limped back to the shop and got OE plugs back in and it worked fine.
The stock tires are garbage. Brakes are expensive.
