2005 CLK55 cab rotor suggestions?
I'm pretty sure I need new rotors soon and was doing some research. I really dont' drive the car THAT hard where I need $1200 OEM rotors. Anyone know of any good aftermarket replacements that won't set me back a fortune?
my brakes are 2 piece, correct? Any way to just buy the rotor and switch the hat over?

Try R1concepts.com. I just put new front (drilled) rotors and pads on my W209 today from them. They sold them to me around $350.00 shipped. Seemed to be very good product and they stop the car just as good as the OEM ONES. They are in CA.

$670.00 N/A $187.60 $482.40
that's from parts.com, so it'll be a tad over $1k for both after shipping + tax.

R1 carries the 340mm (late) AMG rotors? I know they carry the early 335mm rotors, but I don't see a listing for 2005 and later CLK55. Or you going to retrofit the early rotors with the later 6-piston calipers?

Frozen Rotors
I put Frozen Rotors on mine - good discs, have use them on other cars in the past. Autohausaz has OEM rotors for my car at about $235 ea - don't know if they fit your vehicle or not, but Frozen Rotors sells one piece units for 150 each, and if you are running 6 piston calipers, you are in for a ride - about 1500 bucks a pair -
Still cheaper than Brembo
