2001 Audi S4 Rotor/Pad Replacement Help

Vehicle: 2001 Audi S4 - STOCK - 9X,XXX miles (my dad's car purchased NEW-never modded) - Purchased in MI then driven to CA where it currently lives.

I'm going to be doing my dad's brakes on his S4 shortly. Replacing Front & Rear Pads & Rotors

I know where to go for Evo parts but not for my dad's S4.

My questions:

1. Are they any special tools required for rotor or pad replacement/removal?
2. Where do you recommend I purchase OEM comparable or better rotors and pads? Web sites, performance shops, discount warehouses etc... recommendations welcomed
3. I found http://www.autohausaz.com after doing a quick search for rotors and brakes... are they any good?

My dad's driving style is normal....he gets on it here and there. That's it. He wants quality replacement parts without the dealership pricing.

Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions you send my way....

When I owned my B5 S4 I bought a bunch of stuff from:

http://www.ecstuning.com/

I suggest checking out Audizine: http://www.audizine.com


Specifically the B5 S4 section.
