What rotors on a D4

What rotors on a D4
Hello,
2013 A8 L 4.0T
Looking to replace front and rear rotors with similar to OEM performance at less then OEM prices. I've already purchased EBC red stuff pads for front and rear.
I like the USR and GD offerings from EBC but everywhere I look they are either back ordered "nationally" or overpriced.
Can anyone point me to a good vender or a different matching alternative to the OEMs?
Thank in advance.

I get my rotors from one of this sites sponsors. Blauparts.com There may be a couple of different sizes for your car so you may have to measure the rotor diameter. They are great parts too.
UPDATE.. I did a little looking and Blauparts does not have rotors for your car. Partsgeek is showing Zimmermans for around $80 a pop. I use Zimmerman on my D2 A8 and my 944's. Just as good at the $300 OEM ones..

Might go with the zimmermans on the rear. Anyone got a source for aftermarket fronts? W12 is the same rotors as 4.0T right?

i would never spend $300 for a steel rotor when a $70 Zimmerman will perform just fine. Unless you are racing or restoring a car at a Concours Level, under normal driving the Zimmermans are perfectly fine. I've often heard that Zimmerman is an OEM manufacturer for VAG anyway.
