Yeah, you can get zimmerman rotors at a good price. Check rockauto.com.

Default yes you can but...
They will more than likely have to order them, and there is very limited pad selection.

the zimmerman rotors don't look all that bad. i'd recommend getting pads elsewhere though

Default Yes, if you want to be really cheap, go to Autozone and ask for semi-metallics for a 99 A8. ~$29
But they won't have wear sensors, so you'll just have to cross the wires on the leads.

Duralast pads work great. Chinese rotors are ok, but I like Zimms.

Default I have those currently installed on my car with plain rotors
For what I paid and the great warranty, they are decent stock replacements. You can return them for <i>any</i> reason for the life of the pad and get a refund.
