Question, is $500 for a set of new rotors (front and rear), slotted and dimpled a good price?
Does the price include labor/shipping or even pads?

If not, that's pretty much normal price for slotted/dimpled rotors as one usually cost around $100+.

I picked up cross-drilled rotos and mintex redbox pads from AWE for 460 after shipping:

For slotted and dimpled (cross-drilled?) that's not bad I guess, but I'm getting rotors and pads for less, although they are at blowout prices. I dunno...

Here's what they have for the B7: http://www.awe-tuning.com/pages/shar...cfm&PPT=Brakes

^Yeah, they're usually about $100 for fronts and should be a little cheaper for the rears.

yeah, most likely I will be ordering the set from ECS, now for the brake pads. Any recommendation? I did a bit of research but mostly mixed opinions about them. Seems people prefer Hawk or Carbotech. Which would go best with these?

I'm using Carbotech pads. I'm pretty happy with the performance for stock brakes on the B5.

I took it in to the dealer for Permaplate and to have the CEL checked out but they couldn't find anything. No faults came up when the scanned it. While they had my car, they loaned me a '09 Q7, that thing felt like a tank, but really nice...loved that panoramic sunroof
