Search with either the part number, or search as an E55. It is the exact same rotor as ours

Or if you want cross drilled, use w203 c230k brakes. Cheap at $100 and looks nice... Best of all, it's oem!

It's good idea, but they are 28mm vs 32mm thick,

prefer if go with SLK32/E430 or S430-4M/S500-4M Rotors..

If you are looking for a light weight two piece rotor,
look no further.
Racingbrake offers front light weight two piece rotor for your W202 weighing 4.3 less (each) than OE.

Front C43 Two Piece Rotors

Replacement rings are available as an option for future rotor replacements. Saving you a fraction of the cost.

In fact,
We are working on a gb offer for C43 owners here in the MBWorld forums.
if we get enough interest, we may be able to offer them in a group buy. (15-20% dicount!)

if anyone is interested please let us know!

any questions or concerns,
feel free to contact us.

-Chris

Looks a good deal, but I cringe to think how much the shipping would be to Europe....

Racing brake rotors are the best rotors money can buy for the Mercedes application, have them on my ML63 AMG and they totally transformed the ride, braking, accleleration and cornering dynamics. If you can do all 4 I highly recommend it (especially with Forgestar wheels, the weight reduction is amazing)

Shedding unsprung weight is always a great performance upgrade

FRONT ROTORS

I thought there would be some interest in the GB from Racing Brake on their rotors or BBK's. I need brakes, so I am going for their rotors anyways, not putting 1-piece rotors on my car.

Absolutely, but what about the rear? I'm confused (don't know enough about this car) How about the rear, what are you using? I'm getting the AMG ones for the front, what should I do for the rear?

Until now, i didn't see any slotted/drilled OEM alternative rear Rotors, that can be fitted to our cars, can get aftermarket set...

FRONT ROTORS

There is very little in the way of up-grades for rear brakes, it really is not important. Front brakes do most of the actual braking. When braking car weight is transferred to front tires which gives the front tires maximum traction and that is where you want your most effective brakes. If you are tracking your car there are some expense solutions to up-grading rear brakes but for normal driving it is not important.
