Default ATE Rotors and pads

Just did rotors and pads all around. I used ATE which is basically the only option other than OEM that i could find for a 2007 S6. Rotors are coated so hopefully I get less rust on the "hats". Initial impressions are that the stopping power is excellent (although I would have said that about OEM as well). I'll post a pic of them shortly. They have a slotted pattern that looks pretty good. Parts were $1005 from tire rack which was only a modest premium to what OEMs cost and my hope is that when the pads are worn in 20k miles or so, i can just turn the rotors.

Look great. I like the slotted pattern on those.

Seems like quite a bit more expensive than stock, though. A set of oem rotors/pads goes for about $550 from Sunset.

Hmmmm They were 950 (1005 included the shipping). When I had looked at OEM I priced them put at closer to 775. Maybe I looked at the wrong items.
