Dan, your word is gold so I am going to move up to OEM rotors. Pelican Parts sells OEM front rotors for under $50 - including free shipping Autohaus doesn't carry them. Northlake Motors doesn't answer the phone and hasn't returned my voicemail message.
I also need the window brushes (L and R) that scrape dew/rain water off the windows. OEM costs $75 vs. $12 for a knockoff. Seems like quite a spread. Is itworth the difference?
