Default A8 brake upgrade. Are there good aftermarket A8 rotors?
I'm going to do the front brake upgrade and thought I might as well add a better, i.e. performance, disc, if one exists. Does anyone know of resources for this?
Thanks
I will, of course, get the Mintex pads to go with it.

Default ECS slotted A8s are good.
I run them @ Watkins Glen without warpping. I have warpped the OE A8 rotors in similar setting. YMMV tho.

The benefit is greater than just weight savings.

true...I have their 332mm kit, myself. It's actually cheaper than the 312mm kit.
