Default HELP! Can someone please identify this brake rotor for me....
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/80151/imgp1822s.jpg"></center><p>I went to do the rear brakes on my 97 A41.8tQ today and when I went to put on the new rotors I discovered that the parts store ordered the wrong ones! WTF My guess is that this one is for FWD?

Default What thing? The brake rotor? how is it any different than a quattro rotor in looks?
The hat is a little taller looking, other than that, not a huge difference..
