Default Brake Opinion

Ok so a few days ago i take my car into class and well i find out i need new rotors and pads, and to top it off my brake reservior is broken. I did a lil research and well i cant come to a decision. So i was wondering if you guys would be able to point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Rotors

Pads

Reservior

OR for the $

Only thing is the 2nd option the pads come with sensors which i dont need.
if someone has a better option let me know.
Thanks

Have you considered the A8 upgrade?

I hear its well worth it, and on my list of eventual upgrades.

wow MJM's pricing is awesome. i'd go with them. the sensors can be cut off the pads and it won't affect anything.

Just to throw this in there would it affect(even though mines not working. How do you fix it anways?) ABS functions?
