NEED A8 ROTORS, any help?

[Rob Andrews]

I do not agree with all of the below statement.  Slots may fill with pad
material, but it is wisked away after time and washing them.  I have yet to
see them rust.
Reducing the mass of the rotor...sure but you are talking nominal amounts.
If Audi Motorsport put on the S4 comps, then needless to see, they see value
in it....
