Default Ok Ok...I give up...you can only get A8 rotors from the dealer!

...or would someone like to prove me wrong?? I've exhuasted all those "best price" brake places in the back of the car magazines (one guy is still checking with his supplier)...I've checked KVR--nope. APR--nope. Of course I can get the stockers at Clair for $112...but other than that I've had NO luck finding these things. If you know of a source for A8 rotors for less than $100 or so...please let me know. Plain rotors are fine...no drilling/slotting necessary. Any help (ASAP) much appreciated...I've got to have these things by the end of next week. Thanks ..

Default Well..

I also exhausted all junkyards (copartfinder.com...and many others) in search of brackets from a wrecked TT...nada. So i bit the bullet....Clair Parts to the rescue...only $138 EACH!! Hopefully I can find these damn rotors for less than $100 each....I just knew for sure that i could put this kit together for less than $500. I guess we'll see....

Default Did you try Adirondack Auto Brokers?

They have really good prices. I have ordered from them a couple times with good results.<ul><li><a href="http://www.germanautoparts.com">http://www.germanautoparts.com</a</li></ul>

It was him. I'll ask him who it was. I know it is an on-line wholesaler.
