Front Rotors and Pads


Happy New Year:

I will have replace my front rotors and pads shortly. The procedure looks pretty 
easy, according to Bentley. Chris Fountain started a thread a few months ago on 
Repco Metalmasters.  What was the resolution?

Could someone give me a "ball park" estimate of how much a pair of vented rotors 
and semi-metallic pads would cost?

IPC quoted $100! for a pair of OEM front pads and $65 for vented rotors. I'd 
like to do without the "dust generator" OEM pads.

Thanks

I am considering use of Repco Metal Masters on an '91 Audi
Coupe Quattro and an '89 Audi 100 for their low-dust
caharacteristic.  If you have experience with these pads please
advise on their perfomance, durability and their impact on
rotor life.  I know pad replacement on the Audi 100 is a snap,
is the job as simple on the Coupe Quattro.

Also, I just received the Metal Masters for the Coupe Quattro.
The ID number on the pads do not agree with the numbers on the
box.  Is there any number on the pad or any physical
characteristic that tells me that these are definetly Repco
Metal Masters.

The front and rear pads have the following alphanumerals:

                  Front Pad Box: 17-23087-M D3087M

                  Front pad:  DB1253W  BMXB+ EE 370765

                  Rear Pad Box: 17-20363M D363M

                 Rear pad: DB222 BMXB-EE 486U

I'd appreciate your input on these pads.
