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

the brembo markings are on the calipers on the backside. you cant see it from outside the rim.

atleast thats the way they are on my AMG brakes. i saw the brembo makrings before they were installed.

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.
