What are you guys doing for new rotors? I was thinking to go with a two piece front rotor either slotted or cross drilled with matching rears.

Girosport?
Jhm?

Looking for a lower dust pad if possible too!

I did Girodisc pads with OEM rotors. Substantially less dust, similar-to-stock feel, but the brakes still squeal (not always) which is extremely annoying.

Lots of info out there but I recently went with SHW rotors and EBC redstuff and the feel is good and much less dust.

I'd be happy to help, my recommendation for you depends on a few things:
How are you utilizing the car? Is it a spirited daily, or is it seeing track time?
How much power are you pushing out of it?

Does anyone know what material the OEM pads are? They feel like ceramic or organic... I miss the initial bite that my B8.5 S4 had running Pagid semi-metallics. I don't care about dust.

Weekend car running APR 2 with exhaust and intake. Lots of high speed slow downs on the interstate. I was looking at the Girodisc or the Paragon with a similar rear.

Are the hats blue? Can you post pictures? I have the red calipers

The hats aren't blue because they're OEM rotors. I did Girodisc pads. There is no visual difference from stock.

Sweet! & Sorry for the delay in response with this, Notifications haven't been working

but Girodisc is a phenomenal brand, I highly recommend them personally, and know a lot of people running their set-up that are super happy with their choice on this

Paired with the Magic Pads you'll have really great initial bite and stopping power overall, without the adverse effects of most other options
They're super low-dust and quiet, and they're semi-metallic so they'll be nice on your rotors
Overall a really efficient and longlasting set-up

I can get you some specifics and check on availability for you if you would like!
