Are the front rotors like the OEM rotors, i.e. 1.5 piece? Or can the hat be reused and only the ring be replaced? If this is comparable to the stock 1.5 piece rotors (360x36mm) then 515$ per piece is a great price. If the hats are reusable, then even better.
Are the hats and rings available separately? This looks like the best option I have seen thus far for anybody who wants to replace the stock performance brake package rotors like for like!
I find it amazing about how much debate I have seen in this forum about brakes and brake pads, including bitter complaints about how expensive it is to replace the stock rotors. And then finally somebody comes up with Brembo rotors for half the OEM cost and - NOTHING? I wonder whether forum members do not realize the OEM rotors are from Brembo to start with?

I definitely agree with you. I actually prefer the Brembo rotors because they come in a retail box, and where applicable they include the set screw. The Genuine Mercedes rotors are typically not boxed and come from the dealer sharpied or string tagged. Look at the image below of a dealer part for a C300 and you'll see what I'm referring to.

Hats and rings are not available separately...I'm on the hunt.

I think the debate is mostly from pp owners complaining about the high cost of oem pp rotors. The fact that the oem pp rotors can't just replace the ring annoys them.
I've already sourced Brembo fronts in Oz for aud$360, so I'm good for that, but I really want the 2 piece to keep in line with the specs of my car. Then again, I don't track my car and the 1 piece would suffice. Pads r also easily sourced my end as well

Am i missing something, are these not similar in cost to racing brake and giro disc for the rotors only?
Plus they are both lighter to boot. Unless of course i've missed a detail.

One minor detail. RacingBrake and Giro offer fantastic performance upgrades however this is not my market. I strive to offer Original Equipment products for you guys at the best price point with lifetime replacement.

Brembo fronts for 360 AUD, i.e. about 250 USD???? Are these the PP rotors? Or the monopiece? It seems like the price would be in between the two options here in the US.

I should have been more specific, $360nfor the std c63 rotors. Pp rotors in aud are about $800ea
They can defenitely hook you up with a more track friendly package. They have a 2 piece non-drilled option.

Thanks. I had already seen those and was about to pull the trigger until I saw the price difference and thought I would at least check to see what you guys had first.
