C230K Rotor Retaining Bolt Doesn't Match?
Ok, so I ordered part # 2034211312 (I believe C230K) rotors & some Akebonos for my C43. And was wondering, for those that have gone with these rotors, if their retaining bolt lined up to the factory hub? Seems mine do not line right up; this retaining bolt isn't necessary, correct?

The retaining bolt not lining up with the hub hole is not a big problem as the rotor will be held in place by the 5 hub bolts once you mount the wheel in place.
... but the rotor type you picked for your C43 is the wrong one.
Correct part numbers for the C43 fronts are:
2104211812 front left
2104211912 front right

It's just the picture, I knew someone was bound to say that. 
I had them back to back, should've taken a picture, and the difference in barely even noticeable. I went with these because I had a $310 credit from FCP Euro & that got me two rotors & pads for the nearly the price of one factory rotor. Trust me, I prefer the factory setup.

I got those numbers from here: https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c...c43-again.html

Buy here, at Autohausaz.com
Get the 330mm rotors (ie part #36010972 or #2034211312), NOT the 275mm rotors.
There's not much to say... They bolt up without any modifications required"

Now I'm confused... I spoke with an FCP rep prior to ordering and was informed they were 330x28.

These C230K Rotors are good upgrade, but they are 28mm thick vs 32mm stock,
in future; if you want to upgrade the Rotors, go with 32mm thick, not less than that..!
these holes for W203 retaining screw holes for W203/W211, not for W202/W210,,
IMO; it's not that necessary, Rotors will set properly with wheels bolts..!!

Are you confirming that the rotors I installed will work just fine?
Also, could you tell me if these Silver Arrow rotors are the correct ones for the rear: part # 1294230512

For more confirmation:-
the only difference between our rear Rotors & R129 S/A Rotors, is the Rotor Hat off-set,
(55.3mm) stock Rotors vs (57.5mm) R129 S/A Rotors, almost (-2mm),
no need to worry about that..

Just an FYI gents, I have the passenger side C43 rotor (Zimmerman) on clearance for $199, you can combine that with our discount codes for additional savings:
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...g-2104211812oe
$10 off $199+ Use code: y6qw72kt
$25 off $399+ Use code: mv5kq39s
$50 off $799+ Use code: 9k32xdw7
$75 off $999+ Use code: t6hpzb4f
$100 off $1199+ Use code: dch8p94m
$200 off $1999+ Use code: 2b55x9pw
The silver arrow rotors are getting harder and harder to source, Genuine Mercedes is my only option currently.
