Hi guys and gals, looking to see where I can find the cheapest, literally the cheapest front rotors that I can buy. They can be used even and at the end of their life that would work as well.

Also looking for a shop on the east coast who's done an S4 to wagon swap - NYC Tri-state area. Looking into making the plunge.

Check the economy section on this site, looks like 30-40 each

Keep in mind rock auto charges shipping. also I speak from experience you almost always have a restock fee on returns.

Lots of cheap rotors out on Amazon and free shipping if you have Prime.

Being your in the northeast might be worth getting some coated rotors

I just spent $1400 about 3 months ago on new rotors and pads so I'm looking for a cheap replacement.

lets talk about how you spent 1400 and need something again?
generics from autozone or the likes?

Its the AP Radical BBK formerly sold by Stillen who no longer support the platform so I need to have custom rotors made - that ran me just over $1000. I then needed to have the old rotors removed from the hat as they were to rusted and I could not get them removed as they were practically welded in place. Add in bolts and anti rattle clips were over $200 - I know I was being gouged on those but after searching for compatible part for the last 6months I didn't care that Brembo was charging all but my first born for replacements. Stillen was exactly 0% helpful in providing part numbers or dimensions etc.

Anti Rattle clips were $80 alone. I didn't even include the cost of pads.
