    4B3 615 302 A

    I'm thrown by the reference to 32.4mm (vs. 34mm spec). I called GAP, they had no specific info to offer, except that they are Zimmermans and added that they are specific to 2003 RS6.

    Any thoughts/comments regarding the 32.4mm?

    TIA
    32.4mm is the minimum thickness, point at which it is recommended to change the rotors

    The 32.4mm they are referring to is probably the min. limit for wear before replacement.

    I found oem RS6 rotors in this website for a decent price which includes free shipping!!!
    Around $285 for the OEM fronts. A bit cheaper for the zimmermans. I'm about to pick up a pair of the
    OEM ones if I can't find the coleman rotors.

    I saw their pricing, tried to ask them some q's (manufacturer of the "OEM"?) ... got into a silly computer-generated automatic e-mail exchange, could never get someone live to answer my question directly, or indirectly. Tried calling them, was on hold for 30 mins and gave up. When I called German Auto Parts, I got a rep on the phone immediately (Nathan) who was very attentive/responsive. Free shipping as well, and as they/I am in NY state, I received them overnite. When I called back with my q above, they were live on the phone again in a matter of seconds. I know others have bought from Parts Geek w/o issue, was just my preference; I felt that type of attention was worth the higher price, and to receive a 60lb pkg overnite was a bonus as I had a time constraint.
