Default Good place to find rotors and possible recommendations?

I'm about to do the brakes on the A8 (as I've talked about for 3 weeks now. Hah!) I have a price on the DS2500s and will place an order soon. I'm pretty sure I don't have enough rotor left to have them turned.

Where, other than the stealer, should I be able to find OEM rotors for a good price? Are there any rotors which are aftermarket, that are the stock size that anyone could also recommend?

I have the rotors from my A8 that I could sell to you.....put them on in November brand new, took them off in April when I did the BIRA upgrade.....they are OEM.

Shoot me an email if you are interested.

What's the story on the aftermarket BBS rotors? cheaper cost == good, cheaper quality == bad

Sexxy! But I can't justify $400 rotors. I'll stick with the more tame OEM ones.

Default I assume they're significantly cheaper the 2nd time around ...

when you replace just the rotors and reuse the hats.
