[s-cars] Rear Brake Rotor Source? I think my caliper seized orsomething?

[Richard Hill]

I just replaced all four corners on the S4: 

Zimmermann rotors (100 $ CAN each)
Hawk pads (145 $ CAN each)
Smile on my face (priceless)

Would recommand it if you don't have the $ for big  brakes upgrade

And yes the caliper were seized and I had to replace the ebrake cables

Send and email to Tim at foreignauto99 at hotmail.com He is in southern MI, so
relatively not too far from anywhere in the states.  I did all four corners
(rotors and pads) for around <$500.
