    ^ECS is pricey and has high shipping charges.
    I order most of my OEM stuff from http://genuineaudiparts.com/partloca...?siteid=214407
    I believe they are technically Audi San Diego.

    If you would like to give me a call I would be happy to price them out for you! I have both OEM and Aftermarket brands and can probably offer you the lowest pricing around! 877-634-0063 ext. 207.

    Thanks,

    It really depends on what you're looking for. If you want to fully customize your setup while maximizing your stopping power you can look into Adam's Rotors. He can customize your rotors however you want and offers Stop Tech products as well. If you like what Stop Tech has to offer and, because you're close by, talk to Parsa at Mod Bargains. They have great customer service and support with good prices to match. Parsa is an Avant guy and I'm sure he'd be excited to check out your ride.

    Autoanything.com has a good selection of upgrade rotors/pads at good prices; service is excellent too. I've used rockauto.com as well for parts, good service and great prices, but their website is not as user-friendly.

    I also wanted to get some fancy rotors, but after doing some research my conclusion is that unless you go for a big brakes kit, the best performance lies with blank rotors.
    Zimmermann coated rotors is what I found for a decent OEM replacement:

    Then as far as pads go, if you go to track pads (metallic, lots of dust) you will get a performance better than stock. If you go for ceramic pads (low dust), it will be comparable to stock.

    So do all these parts warehouses and online retailers stock the new reformulated Audi pads (introduced in 2011 or so) that offer the same performance with significantly less dust?

    I opted for zimmerman rotors and akebono brake pads.
