Brakes?
Now approaching 60K I thought it was time to upgrade the brakes. Originally I thought big brake kit but could not justify 2k if I am not going to put the car on the track often if not at all. So I decided on the stoptech stage two kit which is new slotted rotors front and back ss lines pads and motul 600 fluid. Would this be my best bet or could I upgrade to s4 brakes through the dealer.

Stoptech BBK would be less than upgrading to S4 brakes thru the dealer!
I'd go with 3.0 brake upgrade. You don't need SS lines.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=1.8T&mod el=B6%20A4&submodel=Quattro&category=Braki ng">http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?make=Audi&engine=1.8T&mod el=B6%2

your best bet would be to find a used set of B5 S4 brakes
there's always some for sale through the classified section. Just gotta be patient to find the right deal for you.
I recently did this upgrade and it's worth every penny. Also, if you're not going to track, i would skip on the Motul 600 fluid. The Motul Dot 5.1 fluid should be more than plenty for you.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a4gen2/msgs/789481.phtml">here's some pics of my install</a></li></ul>

i'd skip on that
check out www.ecstuning.com. They have some great options to upgrade brake components for cheaper than that. SS lines are really not necessary unless you're really going to push your brakes hard.

I just purchased a set of B5 S4 calipers
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/73988/pdrm0215e.jpg"></center><p>Used but excellent condition. I am about to order OEM rotors from ECS and hawk pads. Total I will spend around 550. you can go this option or what Jeff mentioned, either way you can't go wrong.
