You went to otto-zimmerman.de?

Nope, I was at carid.com. otto-zimmerman.de looks like an information website only. I don't see any listing for products. Care to post the link to the Q7 front rotor?

Go to catalog and put in brand, model etc

What's wrong with these? I am sure they are much cheaper than what your dealer is quoting you for the OEM rotors...

Forgot to mention, they are going to ship you like 60+ lbs of rotors for free... compared to anyone else who will most likely ding you for shipping...

The OEM front rotors especially are outstanding and floating. They seem to be top notch.

Nothing wrong with them. I don't want to go OEM if I don't have to.

I think I'm going to try Adam's rotors. Looks like some good quality stuff, and it's probably going to be the same price as the ebay OEM, if not cheaper.

They aren't actually floating. They are two piece but not... like the A8 4.0T rotors I had to purchase for my last brake job.
The vented rotor disc is supported by cast metal rods that attach it to the hub... but I get what you are saying by "two piece"

Let us know how it goes. Would love to see what they look like when you get them delivered.
What pattern are you looking to go with for dimpling, slotting, drilling, etc?

Oh, I thought 2-piece is a floating rotor vs a fixed rotor. I’ve seen posts as you mentioned, had them on my M3. (shrug) Here’s a pic of Audi’s. I think they’re beautiful. I never go aftermarket. I trust the engineers at Audi.

That is a two piece rotor. But the ones on my last A8 I would not consider 2 piece... since you had no option but to replace the whole thing.
On a true two piece rotor, you can replace the braking surface and reuse the center hat/hub portion.

This is what I meant by the A8 rotors (same as last generation SQ5 rotors.
