Later edit: sale now runs to 12/31 per a later email ad I got
I ran thru my parts list today w/ audiusaparts for a couple of different Audis. They are having a sale that literally ends today for $25-40% off list, depending on part. From using them a lot in the last 6-8 years, about as good a price as I see from them (or others) on dealer parts.
FWIW, I bought a set of the S8 OE 400mm front rotors at $230 each, shipped and no tax. Web dealers often still charge shipping on rotors, but not here so I went ahead given both price and shipping included. For who have DIY'ed the front quasi two piece OE rotors used on the D4's (and also 380mm, and I guess 356mm used on A8's), you probably know they are dealer only for fronts and pricy as rotors go. The S8 rotors are same as S6 and S7. Also pricy, the vibration/sound insulation plates that go with each of the six pistons per front caliper. Those are only used with S6/7/8, not the smaller sizes for various A8's. Usually well over $200 for the set of 12 and dealer only; $172 w/ sale price. Some DIY'ers or indies re use them if removed carefully from pads.
Not shilling for them particularly, and some use other on line dealers more convenient for them. For me, the west coast ones make the most sense. In this case, just passing along a much better than normal price on specific parts that have frustrated some in posts, especially if they get a dealer brake job quote. Rotors can be found in their web illustrations. 4H0 615 301 AL. The pad insulators are not in the parts pictures so I pulled from EKTA and confirmed w/ VIN: 4H0 698 231.
I'm using EBC red pads, so didn't bother with the OE ones.

If looking at non-dealer pads, a way to cross check any answer/number you get is just to flip to the C7 S7 and/or S6 listings. Same pads, rotors, etc. in front. Also, if you see an image of them, they should have the little counterweight "ears" in the outer corners. Common Brembo large brake type construction.
As an update to original post, I got an email saying (surprise...) they are extending their pricing through year end.
