Hey Topless, have you ever tried the PFC two-piece rotors? I may get those in a couple months, but would like to know your thoughts.
I've had great luck with Zimmerman over the years, but would like to save a little weight and worry less about cracking.

Looked at everything last all...

and ended up with Zimmerman rotors. Only rotor that seemed to work on my A6.
I used EBC Yellow Stuff for pads no noise and no problems.
But got them from a Cayman owner and they did not have the holes for the sensors..so had to drill a couple of holes.

Bala was cheaper but not readily available. No one had a set of 4.

Drilled and slotted Zimmerman rotors. I installed EBC yellow stuff pads but after a track event they squealed and I could not get it to go away. Purchased the EBC RED stuff, no squealing after 2 days on track and 3 more AX days, but they seem a little more dusty.

Never tried them because they are not legal in my class and big $$$. Stock Zimmis are working just fine for now. No cracking issues on the plain rotors yet. Cross drilled rotor cracking is a well known problem though.
