Where to buy rotors for 2004 C230K sports sedan?

Everywhere I look, they only have rotors for the standard C230. Does anyone know who sells rotors for the sports sedan version? I assume there is a significant difference? Thanks

try the bay!

You're in luck, there's plenty of those on ebay...even cross drilled at reasonable prices so shop around. Wish I could say the same about my C43. I don't have time now...if you research my earlier posts I name the ebay seller I dealt with - straight shooter w/no probs.

I can try and find out what the part numbers would be for my car? I don't know when I'll have the chance to check with my SA (@ Mercedes), but I've got the refresh with the 4 piston calipers and cross-drilled front rotors.

The rear brakes are the same across the board (as far as I understand it).

rotors for a 2004 C230k is different than the 2004.5 C230k which has the Brembo 4-pot. Need to let us know which brake system you have.

Hi,
How can I tell which brake system I have? I know my rotors are cross drilled but I don't see any brembo markings on my calipers. Thanks

just from that statement I can tell you your car has the 2004.5 Brembo caliper which is the same as the C32's only with slightly thinner/smaller rotor. You can use the C32 rotor as replacement rotor if you are looking for change them.

all the AMG brakes are made by Brembo and all of the 4-piston and up brakes as well.
