Default The answer is right in the Historical Model Guide at the top of the page. Here's the link

Default Well, if a tech have to ask you what size you use maybe you should consider going else where

and Wagner sounds like a trusty American brand for GM cars but I would only buy German or heavy duty performance parts. If Audi rotor will warp think about the lesser brands.

If the tech don't even know that tell you something about the shop. My advise is go else where that works on German cars. If you need rotors and you've past the warranty then I suggest you go with Achtuning.com and buy the stoctech stage II kit that is way better than stock rotors.

Don't buy the OEM rotors, they are French!

Default Thanks 2.7Twin for the straight goods...

Wasn't a 'tech' was a parts store.... I expect one would need to know to order online also... Seems we have more smart answers than helpful..

Default Come on Rick, I don't think Silver was being a wise guy. He's right, if I go to a shop or parts

vendor give them the year and model and they start asking question other that something that would change in the model year I'd wonder too.

Default If Silver 2.7T would have read the post I am looking for PADS

The person at the parts'store needs to know what kind of car it is to fit the right pads....as far as I know now problems with rotors, although maybe a wise time to change...
