[V8] Rotor and Pad Pricing

[Buchholz, Steven]

... surprised noone responded to this one yet!  I made an attempt from
home over the weekend, but the web-based Outlook crashed on me ... :-(

The V8 has a few rather unique features ... one of the more unique
features being the front brakes.  I would not recommend going to a
Kragen or standard FLAPS for front brake parts on a V8.  Do you know if
you have UFO brakes?  I'd recommend that you get in touch with Audi
Connection ... or maybe Blaufergnugen ... 

If you have UFO brakes, each rotor will run about $200 ... but then IME
the rotors don't always need to be replaced ... 

HTH!
