Rotors

Anybody bought these rotors?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=33564

If not can you recommend ones which are not very expensive?

IMHO - if you think $250.00 + $38.00 shipping is alot to spend of a set of 4 rotors then you are gonna have alot of issues with the cost of maintenance of your vehicle.

nahh I don’t think $300 for rotors is expensive, but I saw some for about $3200, that I consider expensive.

What I wanted to know is that if you have used these rotors on ebay or if you know where I can find some good rotors in a range of $300 - $500, which you have used before and you recommend. Plus don’t trust ebay, so any other sites out there?

Check with Stoptech. I know they make OEM size drilled and/or slotted rotors for cars without the big brake kits. Not sure about those with 04.5 and newer or C32 front brakes.

Well, the languages on the box are, top to bottom:
-Portuguese
-Russian
-Greek
-Chinese

Strange lineup; looks a bit fishy to me.

EDIT: I have to retract my comment above, as there are writings on the top of the box as well, of which the top one looks like German and the second one looks like English

Hey how come you get 40% discount???? Can you help me out here

I have C-320 2002 with AMG wheels and I just bought zimmerman brake pads, so thought I will replace my rotors as well. So far from your feedback, seems like this is an OK deal???

even with a 40% discount,
you would then need them to be shipped from Portugal,
and the weight alone would cost you more than that 40% in postage alone !

I have workshop discount, trough my company, I have a workshop but I only have discount on brembo rotors, I don't think the guy who sell the brembo's have HRE, I have to search it elsewhere

One question, the c320 rotors will fit in a c230?(in my case a c220cdi)
are they the same size?

I think you wouldn't have any problems, the brembo rotors are the best you can buy, about the HRE should be ok, as they are the same brand of your stock ones, I think

I read/heard somewhere that the basic Brembos are nothing but rebadged Zimmerman rotors. HTH

I read that exact same thing.
I think Mark Cummins told me that too !

AMG big brake kit = Brembo caliper + Zimmerman drilled rotors + MB pads

I got my x-drilled/slotted rotors and new OEM rear and EBC front pads installed today. I got them from ebay, a company called R1 concepts, they seem to have sold thousands of sets with good feedback. When i apply the brakes, the steering wheel vibrates, but you don't feel it pulsing on the pedal. Is it possible these rotors could have come warped new? I was thinking, actually hoping that maybe it would work itself out but i doubt it.
