    Damn, they blam-ed up the front rotors when they stole the rims....

    I was hoping they were going to be okay, but apparently it hit the ground hard enough to gouge the asphault. What are some replacement suggestions you guys have been using with smiles? Colemans? Girodiscs? Zimmermans are pretty cheap and I had em on my A6 4.2, but this is a different story. I don't want to go messing with the Brembos by putting doofus rotors in there.

    Ugggggh..... did I say I was terribly upset? Let me say it again if I missed it..... I am terribly upset.

    I believe the eBay rotors were confirmed by Bigglezworth to be Zimmermans

    How is your insurance treating this, i am just curious, because you are definitely into deductible land?
    RS6 #1 904959, Daytona, Silver, tons of "stuff," went through puddle, dead engine, end of #1 for me, rebuilt by local enthusiast and thriving.
    RS6 #2 904568, Avus, Ebony, no stuff, stock minus RNS-E.

    My fronts came in a box with two Zimmerman pamphlets. The only markings are 1462 and a directional arrow.

    Hmmmm, maybe they bought in bulk? I've seem the Zims come in boxes with the name labeled all over. I still don't buy it, when it below wholesale something is fishy...or someone jacked a semi of car parts, easy enough to resell.
