What rotor can I use with the ECS stage 3 kit?
My car currently has the whole ECS stage 3 kit with the 2 piece rotors. I am not really looking to spend $400 on replacement rotors if I can avoid it. Are there cheaper options, and if so can you please point me in the right direction?

Ok, so I got off my lazy duff and searched, but now I have another question. Are Zimmerman rotors worth my time/ money? I have found the following:
Zimmerman "coated" rotors: $77.75
Zimmerman un-coated rotors: $70.75
Brembo rotors: ooops, wrong size!
Raybestos (who knew they were still around?!): $85.79
Wagner: $74.89
034 sells what appear to be OEM rotors for $125 each, and genuineaudiparts.com sells them for $109.
So I guess I am asking if these other brands would hold up as well, or has anyone even tried it?

ummmm, I think it was partsgeek.com.... I was on there and on rockauto.com, so it may have been either one of them.
What is the coating they are referring to, and would it affect cold weather stopping?

The hats are in great shape, the rotors just have some very nasty waves in them. More to follow on this.... I just got notified of an $11000 debt that needs to be dealt with ASAP so everything else is on the FAR back burner for a little while until I sort this mess out!
