My Merc Parts...anyone bought rotors from them?
Need to get a front set and they are our sponsor so of course got to at least try to give them some business first...but they dont mention the brand of the rotors they are selling...
So went on other sites and i could get cross drilled set pretty much for the same price...
what would you recommend?
Thanks!

Haven't bought rotors yet but I was advised to get them from RMeuropean. I've also saw one guy was happy with his rotors and pads from Advance Auto... Make sure you get the right size. I have a 2005 C230K which takes the "Sport" rotors but some of the discount Mercedes parts place don't list them (Just looking at My Mercedes Parts' website and it doesn't appear that sell rotors for my car, but they don't have much of a description). Make sure with whomever you buy from that they are sending you the correct part.

I just know most people get the rotors and pads from rmeuropean for a pretty good price. Going to be looking into getting some rotors by the end of the summer or I might just save up and get Brembo BBK.

My 2005 C230K SS has right at 111,000 miles now. Brake wise, here is what has been done:
27,000 miles - new front pads (dealer comp)
53,000 miles - new front OEM pads ($88, rmeuropean), BALO front rotors ($75 each, rmeuropean) and a brake flush.
75,000 miles - new rear pads ($28, Duralast from Advance)
94,000 miles - new front pads ($68 Jurid, OEM supplier, rmeuropean)
Now the BALO front rotors have almost 60,000 miles on them and are on their second set of pads and still no noise, no vibration, just excellent smooth performance. At $75 each at the time I bought them from RME they are a screaming deal. I recommend saving the $20-30 and going with Jurid front pads over Mercedes branded pads, they were the same. There is no reason you should pay anymore for this stuff than what I've listed. My car's brakes are one of its best attributes and it has never had a noise or vibration at all, so I'm not skimping.

so i end up going to Autozone and going with Duralast pads and rotors...lifetime on pads the super-quiete ceramics($64), and the 2 year on rotors ( $45 each)...i have to agree parts like these i'd hate to order and have a defective one at some point...
this is my second brakepad/rotor change since 45K miles...highway miles only on the car
