Eric,
I've had a G 60 strut and brake system on my 200 20V TQ Avant for about 20 years now. I use ATE elliptical groved rotors and Hawk pads (soft) with the Girling rotors. This set up was on all 94-96 S4 and S6's, and should be findable on many recycling sites.
The brakes work fine in every day use, and can stand up to an occasional track outing with no problems. I converted to ATE Super Blue brake fluid long ago and have not experienced any brake fade even under the most demanding track outings.
I run 16" 95 S4 wheels for the race tires, 15" BBS lace wheels for touring tires and 15" MSW wheels for the Snow tires.
Per your clutch questions, I installed a late 90's S8 pressure plate, and a carbon/Kevlar/ metallic clutch disk which allows me to use the wagon as a tow car for flat towing lightweight race cars to the track and back up into the Rocky Mountains where they live.
At this point the Avant has racked up 289,000 mi. and still looks and runs good.
