Default Quick rotor replacement advice please. I was going to replacement my OEM's with Zimmerman Slotted on

stock calipers with Axxis Ceramic pads, SS brake lines and Motul RBF 600 fluid.

The problem is the REAR rotors are on back order EVERYWHERE (unless someone knows something I don't).

I don't track or brake hard on daily driving (never in any stop & go).

Can someone suggest a good slotted rotor replacement?

Are Brembo's 1 piece slotted decent?

TIA! Oink, oink! ;o)

Default There are so many choices, Ate, Brembo, real generics

I find it hard to believe there are none available. I would consider Ate Power disc.

Any reason to believe they wouldn't on the S4? Comparable prices $190 fronts, $150 rears?

Nothing. One time though, it didn't turn on when I started the car. That was only once though. )
