Default Need Brake Parts

I need to go through the front brakes; pads & rotors, and it's hard to find parts other than $3,500 big brake kits. Where should I go?It's an '04 S4, thanks guys.

You have an 04 and it already needs rotors?

whats wrong with that? It depends how many miles are put on the car and what kind of driving, rotors ARE a wear item and the car is 4 years old. track days or fast driving can wear and warp rotors, plus the B6 isnt exactly lightweight...

Go here and grab some slotted rotors and more agressive pads for a mini brake upgrade/ refresh

Right....didnt think about the weight difference. I had rotors on a b5 last 7 years 120,000 miles believe it or not.

When I do fronts I always replace pads and rotors. Only in the rear will I only do pads.
