Default Sexy, smooth and shiny - and cheap (for a change!)

Fixing or spiffing up my car usually means ordering online, wait 30~45 days between shipping and customs, 60% import tax plus labor, if not a DIY project. If the parts are a little heavier, like shocks and coils, it makes shipping costs prohibitive. My H&R and Bilstein setup came with me as luggage. Heavy fellas to drag to and around the airport!!

So it came as a nice surprise when I was able to source a pair of 314mm vented brake rotors locally from Fremax. Mine is an European spec S6. Brake pads, on the other hand, are impossible to find in Brazil so I´m about to order it plus a few consumables from Rexbo.eu.

If you have a better (read cheaper) place from which I can order online, please let me know.

Sexy, smooth and shiny, looks great too:

I got these for my 94 German spec V8 S4 avant that uses the same cast iron HP2 caliper, 314 x 30 rotor and pads as yours should. I got them (EBC Redstuff DP31012C) through Amazon.com.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered pads and some other consumables from rexbo from germany. Brazil imposes a 60% import tax on parts and seems that when it comes from europe, sometimes the goods are not taxed. Let's hope...
