I looked at Pelicanparts.com, for a 2006 C230 sport (code 949) 203.052- the disc's (203 421 12 13) are 116.25 ea and the pads (004 420 51 20) are 113.50 front set. Genuine Mecedes. You need two sensors (211 540 17 17) at $ 5.75 ea. made by PEX. Just tossing this in for anyone else who might need some brakes.

The sensors come in packs of four. I found this out the hard way (and as such, have three extra packets of sensors)... 
The job is not that bad, but if you want to be 100% right about tools you will need an E-20 External Torx Socket. You can get by with a 15mm wrench (it will grip and hold) but the calipers use torx bolts.

2006 is a whole new world, two sensors and a dipstick! Bet it cost 'em close to one euro to supply all that.

My C350 only has 1 sensor on the passenger's side - 1 front passenger, 1 rear passenger.
