Default A5 3.2 (B8) Front Brake Rotors

Anyone know where I can source a pair of cross-drilled front brake rotors for my A5 3.2 quattro?

tons of sources. beginning with some of the advertisers here. Pelican Parts Zeckhausen, Suncoast Audi, etc. I'm sure google would also return sources.

You're looking for OEM replacements, right?

I am looking for cross-drilled front rotors, so no not OEM.

Why do you want cross-drilled? Those are weaker (prone to cracking) and offer no benefit with modern brake pads. Don't even start with off-gassing (ended in the '80s with asbestos litigation) or lower mass - (its a terrible way to lower mass, and mass = heat absorption anyway). The amount of mis-information re: brakes is astounding.
