I was putting in my new front spring perch and noticed my front rotors seem to be one piece, not the original two piece. It does still have the AMG calipers, and the rotor seem to be the correct size, the car will nearly pop your eyes out when full braking. Am I just missing something? Or has the car been modified.

Original comes with 1 piece, do you have 2 piece now..?!?

No, 1 piece. I thought oem was 2 piece.

No, not at this time. They only have about 12k miles on them, still look new. I was just wondering Thanks for the answers Racingbrake, I will keep you in mind when the time comes to change them out!

ML63 AMG

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Racing Braje rotors. They are the best available rotors for our cars and they last twice as long as OEM rotors. They are also much lighter, and have far better cooling which helps reduce fade significantly.

I have all 4 on my ML63 and could not have been happier about the transformation. If you are going to get their rotors get a set of their brake pads as well

How's the dust level with their pads? I have the Akebono pads with the OEM rotors and love that there is almost no dust.

ML63 AMG

I have run OEM and stoptechs. Both dust a lot. Their pads dust less and as long as you use them on a brand new set of rotors you should have no squeal issues (brake pad cross contamination from mixing two different sets of pads)

Their pads are designed to be used with their super hard steel alloy, for that reason they are the most optimal pad to run as many of the ceramic pads out to here are NOT compatible with their rotors bc the pads are just too soft.

That's good to know I put new pads in the front a few years ago and had never change the rotors yet. Next time around, I'll get the rotors and pads from them
They don't make the rear rotors for our cars....

Zayed, isn't that a two piece rotor in your picture? Looks like it to me...


To my knowledge, our cars should all have the two piece rotor. Could it be that the previous owner switched them out with a cheaper set. Yes, I do think the car has been modded, if they're one piece

Midwest

I have heard of a cheaper alternative rotor for these cars, but can't remember what it is, my guess is that is what was put on, because I was under the impression that all of these cars came with two piece stock. Mine are undoubtedly 1 piece. They work great, and I probably wont replace them untill it is needed or I run into an excellent deal.

No, it's one piece, it looks 2 piece, but isn't..

You can go with bolt-on Rotors from (E430/SLK32 or E350/E500 4Matic or S430/S500-4Matic),


*the only difference is the place of rotor retaining bolt,,

it's not that necessary to have it, it's just to keep the rotor in place when trying to align the lug bolts...

Hello Zayed,
I stumbled upon the W210 AMG Wikipedia page, and it's listing the front rotors to be floating-two piece rotors.

Under "E50, E60 and E55 AMG - common technical specifications"

Hi Faiz,

Yes sure, you're right,

technically it's 2 piece, it called "non removable solid piece", many other MB/Audi/BMW got 2 piece solid Hat,,

but in our auto brake world, we consider 2 piece as "removable or replaceable Hat with Hex bolts"..

ZAYED,,

RacingBrake

Well defined. A true two piece rotor is not just how they are made (w/two different metal) in the process, it's disc should be replaceable which is a labor intensive hand assembly so very few true "two piece" on OE set up.

Appreciate your valued response..

They are bi-metallic rotors but available as one assembled piece

Solo wing

I'm thinking seriously in buying racingbrake rotors. Do they fit with no modification? Does it come with the pads like the W211? Is there any promotion/discount? I'm in Canada btw.


Thanks,
Faiz

If Rotors only or complete BBK, no need any mod..
