Default Doing maintenance on brakes, where to buy parts

Ok im going to be replacing the pads and rotors all the way around in the next few weeks, I was hoping to go with drilled or slotted rotors but probably not drilled/slotted, I wanted to know where the best place to buy this stuff is and what experiences others have had with either drilled or slotted rotors?

Even better - go to www.ecstuning.com and check out the A8 brake upgrade. You get rotors from an A8 (which are 12.3" instead of the A4's 11.3"), plus caliper carriers from the TT (which are required so your calipers can be used with the rotors). The price I saw last week on there was $285 for OEM vented rotors with carriers, and if you want slotted or drilled/slotted, it's $350. For that price, you may as well do it (get your pads too, of course) - why not get the extra torque effect of the slightly larger rotors and fill out the inside of your wheels a little more at the same time? Kinda hard to go wrong on that one - better stopping and better styling for a very good price. That's where I'm heading once I need brakes (probably springtime).

question about the a8 kit, for $350 it comes with everything i would need is pads, meaning it comes with the a8 rotors and new carriers and everything else i would need?
