recommendations for cross-drilled rotors?
anyone have any recommendations for cross-drilled rotors? and if anyone has a rough price, it'd be great. also, does anyone know how much a pair of factory amg brake pads run for? and if anyone has photos of cross-drilled rotors with factory calipers, please post em!!!

do you have cross-drilled in the rear? any pics? does it look funny because it's significantly smaller?

It looks like the C32. They dont come stock with cross drilled in the rear. Also, I have the sports package so my rears are a bit bigger than the normal. Ill probably get rear cross drilled later.

Cross Drilled has more 'bite' or initial stopping power....

Slotted lasts longer and doesn't heat up as much.

IMO slotted is a waste of time on its own unless you really care about rotor wear.

Find me a rotor that doesn't rust after being used.... Anyone ever look at their brakes the day after it rains? Rotors rust, who cares? Hold down the brake, and travel 5 feet, and the rust will be gone.

Yeah, that happens all the time, even after washing the car.

aren't the cadmium alloy brakes supposed to be rust-resistant?

They won't rust while sitting on a shelf. Once you use the rotors, the cadium plating is rubbed off.
