a quarter mile at a time
ahh i'm new to the performance cars still :P never even stopped to think we were probably discussing cross drilled and/or slotted rotors 
anyways, assuming the brake setup is standard dampened steel or whatever (just vented rotors)... if youre spending the money on a nice new set of ceramic pads.. why would you put them on glazed over rotors? just seems like a waste of money too me :P

SP Performance Rotors
I did a search and came up with nothing on these specific rotors.
I won a set of 4 Diamonnd Drilled, slotted, nickel plated rotors from a contest I was in with my last car. Has anyone used or heard of these. I am just wondering if they are worth putting on the car.
Thanks

Debadged 6-Speed '05 C320 Sports Coupe
The front brake pads were replaced this weekend. I got 113K miles off them and they didn't hit the wear sensor. The original factory pads were replaced with a fresh set of factory pads.

Simple C32/ 2004.5 C230 Caliper Clarifications
I've searched but have not found 100% adequate results. Here are my following questions:
- Are the C32 calipers the same as the 2004.5 calipers (exception of the AMG logo)?
- Will C32 disks work with the 2004.5 calipers?
Thanks in advance

white and whiter
it does. they use the same pads and same rotors.
if you want the 05+ sport brakes with the 2-piston vented combo. I got a set that's painted red still. u would need the front rotors and pads tho.

those Brake pads
Hot damn this topic has a lot of info, thanks for some much needed schooling on brake pads. The question I have is do I need to replace the rotors on a C230 sport 07 if a plan on just replacing the pads with Porterfield? Also how does the dealer/ local garage feel if the costumer comes in with there own brake pads?
Thanks
Jason
