I am not sure if the Mintex have the coating and I would prefer ones that have this.

Zimmerman are good too as they come coated. My friend Marcin recommended them.

Would skimming the discs be an option to remove the lip ?
I've never had it done but I saw a garage recently advertising "insitu disc skimming.
I have also had some eyewatering quotes over the years for pads/discs too from my local Dealer on a D3 & D4. Ask for the part no.s to be put on the estimate and a few minutes on eBay will tell you what's what.
Discs don't seem to last like they used to.

Skimming the lip off the discs is plausible. I'd ask Audi for the measured thickness against the minimum allowable thickness to see how deep the lip is. If it's got plenty of 'meat' left, you could skim them. Generally an hours labour per axle.

update:
front pads, rear pads, rear disk, all pagid branded. fitted by a local garage that had the equipment to relax rear calipers to wind them in. they said it was a 1.5 hour job
cost :

£230 parts/labour/vat included !!!!!

how can an Audi indie quote £750+ and a dealership even more.

thanks all for informing me how to read the relevent bits on the buildsheet.
cheers raj
