Audi is insane at $450.00+ a piece.

Default yes, but not cheaper than OEM.

ECS Tuning sells the OEM front rotors for $860 per pair...you probably won't find them much cheaper than that. Clair Parts may be a bit less. The only other option would be to get Alcons, which are $3500 or something for the set (rotors, calipers, and pads).

Default You can get cheaper than ECS easy on OEM. Greg at GAP or Carson at Riverside

Their online stores don't have the RS4 on it yet, so you need to call.

Default that's why I mentioned Clair, but they're not that much cheaper.

and the shipping might actually be more than ECS.

yeah, that's bullsh1t. the hardest part of changing the pads is getting the wheels off.

I don't think you need to remove the caliper right? Just two pins and slide out.

Correct. Two pins and a retaining spring get you to the pads.

Default Not really. At least they are 2 piece rotors.

OEM front rotors for a Ferrari 355 are single castings, weigh a ton, are not directionally vaned, and are very similar in size to the rotors on the front of our 2000 Honda Odyssey. They are $380 each. Now that is crazy.

try Girodisc, I think they make a rotor.
