I'm tempted to try the 034motorsport one. Seems to be priced right, and I've heard good things about them and their products.

lets see sure...

ordered 3.0 rotor upgrade from them (new carriers) along with cross drilled/slotted rotors front and rear along with new pads, fluid and lines. i dont get a call or email for two weeks. i called in and they said "oh those rotors are backordered, but dont worry, they willl be here next week" next week rolls around. "well sir they are clearing our shop this week and should be out to you then" no problem... THREE MONTHS goes by with constant excuses and lies. they finally refunded my money (which they had charged me without even shipping my items) not to mention i offered to still take the delayed product but i wanted a discount. NOTHING, not even free shipping off a $1k order.

luckily audi warrantied my rotors but about six months later. warped again so i called ecs and was ASSURED they were ready to go. another 1.5 months of more excuses and lies from them. i finally got them nearly two months later. once again no apology or discount for my troubles.

ordered a apr r1 from them which failed as soon as i got my flash. apr and ecs each pointed fingers at who had to get it fixed and refund my money. ended up being apr but ecs was not at all helpful.

i have had problems with other vendors but they were all resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. We are all far from perfect but when you mess up, ya gotta fix it!

I talked to them about this... its like $360 for the full set of uppers and lowers and supposedly sourced through the same company that makes them for Audi. I need to do it on my wife's S4.
