V8Q Brakes HELP!

[greg.moyle at transport.qld.gov.au]

Does anyone know of a supplier for front disk pads and rotors for a 1990 V8Q.
The Audi agent here in Brisbane is quoting AU$830.00 for a set of pads and
doesn't even have any! They also tell me the front rotors are not machinable due
to the outside housing/casing/shield thing being fixed to the rotor and will
have to be replaced at $1000.00 + each. Can this outside casing be machined off
and left off or is it a necessary part of operations?

Thanks for any advice/help
