Light weight rotors

Hi guys

who can i buy light weight rotors from? I know Evosport sell the rotors, how ever i am a little worried to go through them due to the delivery delays they have been experiencing.

thanks

I wonder if they are comparable when it comes to quality. I just went to their website and look under "vehicle" and they don't list the C63. They loist the CLK and even chosing the CLK they don't sell the rotors, they only sell the pads..

I couldn't find rear rotors on that site (though I didnt look very hard haha) but im sure if i called them up, they would be able to accommodate. I like how informative the site is.

Select by product, not vehicle, then the C63 will show up. The 2 piece Rotor upgrade lists the C63.. but they are only slotted and vented, not cross drilled.

rears aren't available for any of the 2 piece fronts. the rotors i ordered for my car list the brinnell hardness at 207 to 277 i think and weigh in at 17 lbs. rebuildable for about 200$ each when the time comes. hopefully they will be shipped in short order and ill be able to test them

heres some info for your application. bigger rotor than mine weigh 24 lbs saving 12lbs over oem

sorry 600$ each not 500$ but still much cheaper than oem!

Ordered this morning and shipped same day. My rears have very little wear anyway. Looking for some track only front pads for Road Atlanta in two weeks.

It seems like the swept area is smaller, on their rotors as compared to OEM rotors?
I looked at the rotors online for the E63, and they seem smaller (swept area). If this is true then they must be using a smaller brake pad.
