Default Yep, several have. You can get them from KVR Performance in Canada...

...probably best to call though. The installation of these on my S4 is the subject of a tech article here on AudiWorld. I've had them for over 1.5 years now. The only issue I've had is that my second set of rotors I have (I wore through the first ones in just less than a year thanks to several track weekends) sometimes rub on the passenger side caliper when warm and the car is just rolling. I can't now seem to get it centered perfectly, taking into account the expansion of the rotor after heated -- I didn't have this problem on the first set of rotors, and I haven't put a whole lot of effort into fixing it.<ul><li><a href="http://www.kvrperformance.com">http://www.kvrperformance.com</a</li></ul>
