Did you try the search?
Were paying on average 500 for a pair of new Audi rotors.
IMHO if you go with new Audi rotors and EBC Reds...you will have many miles of happy driving. Also a thread on the stock Audi pads and why not to use them is in our history.

Repeating the same thing over and over again gets old.
If you searched you could have indicated as such. Having consideration for others time is just as caring.
I didnt have the email and contact info handy and would have needed to search myself. Thus my question if you searched?
Tried to point you in the right direction before you overpaid for parts from the dealer. Search would have gotten you there.

I appreciate your help and value your input. My bad on not spending enough time searching.I'll try to be more considerate of your time in the future. Group hug?!?

the other option is what i did... custom rotors vis a vis the group b uy... Now i have a spare set of rings sitting in my garage for my next brake job. i think the rings cost me $300 or so for the pair.
Jimmy's group buy from last year.
But.. if you can get a PAIR of rotors for $500... that seems like a good deal. Not like my nsx tho... pads are $75 for the pair, and rotors something like $150 for the pair.
No problem on my end. We have lots of good info here in history. This forum has the largest single source of RS6 info on the planet. Good subject titles and complete diy data are so important to keeping all of us happy. Enjoy

seriously? he probably did and not much came up. big help this comment is. who really has a good lead for some? the whole thread and only one lead, a dead end to Kyle who doesn't seem to have them anymore.
If he would have searched he would have seen that two posts down from his I started a thread with a link to aftermarket two piece rotors produced by JHM mototorsports. It's also common knowledge as stated above that some schmoozing with any local parts dept. can yield rotors for $300 a piece. I don't understand your malice with certain members of this board, but digging up old threads to call others out is just crossing the line. Cheer up.
Pat - Eisenmann race exhaust, Catless downpipes, KW V3's, H-Sport sways, 034 Control arms, Apikol diff mount, Sterns motor mounts, Forge dv's, Stainless brake lines, Venair hoses, Sportec vent mod, Euro tails, Viper Tuned ecu/tcu, DPE S20's 19x9.5, 275/30/19's
That's it.
So either kiss ass with someone at the dealership, or go the JHM route http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310486
You gotta pay to play I suppose... these cars eat up rotors when driven as they're supposed to be. I'm not complaining, it's just what it is. Stopping power of these cars is purely awesome!

Jason, try Kyle at fastvwaudiparts@yahoo.com he is somewhere here in Washington and he sold me a new set for $500 delivered and no tax. They only took about 3 days to arrive from when I Paypal'd him the money. He said he can get any VW/Audi parts at a discount.

Thanks, I emailed him.
I think Jimmy is out and ya, if the rotors can be sourced for $500/pair, it's going to be much cheaper than Jimmy's option.
Sounds like Avus-RS6 contacted Kyle at Fastvwaudi parts and he can't get the OEM rotors anymore. Bummer, $500 a pair was a good deal, I should have bought more.

FWIW my cost on OEM rotors is $260.00 each as a wholesaler.
If someone is selling OEM for less than that, I would love to at least know where they are coming from. It may be that they are a dealership employee and is selling them at employee cost?

$520 a pair isn't bad either. Unless Steve charges us a premium. Heh.
My parts guy at Penske Audi told me 300ea.
I had a feeling this was the case. I hadn't heard of anyone recently getting them for that price.
$300 from a dealer? That's pretty darn good.
You know, it's funny. We get all excited about a "great deal" on rotors for $250-300, but when you step back and think about it, it's still freaking ridiculous!
