My A6 is lasting a lot longer than the S8. no indicator yet, but they
say at about 40k i will need to replace rotors and pads in the front. audi says I will have to do both. I dont think the rotors are ready yet. cost is about 750.

Feel free to give Terry a call, or look up a local Stoptech dealer in your neighborhood to check them out.

I am planning to just change my pads since the rotors seems fine at 32k.

I dropped by Griffin Motorwerke in Berkeley, CA last week. Terry Griffin (owner) told me about some brake pads (front and rear) by Stoptech that are low dust, no noise, and perform as well or better than the stock brake pads. They are likely less expensive than the stock pads as well. I will go this route when I get around to it in the next 4-6 weeks.

I then came to my senses and called Sunset Imports in Oregon (sunsetimports.com). They advertise their prices at dealer cost plus 15% for OEM Audi and Porsche parts. The total quote for the same exact parts as quoted by my local dealer - front & rear rotors and pads - came out to $600. Shipping from Oregon to Northern California / Bay Area is estimated at $40-$50.
