Mercedes OEM Parts-Excellent Price-Good People
I just ordered new brakes all around including new front rotors for my 07 C230 Sport and found a supplier out of Kansas that is selling Genuine OEM Mercedes Parts and much lower price than any dealer. They also sell Saab, Porsche, Jaguar and Land Rover parts.
Mercedes Parts Center - Call (800) 587-4863 for Genuine Mercedes Parts and Accessories
They have detail parts diagrams but you need to call them when placing an order to ensure you are ordering the correct part for your car. Very low shipping costs, very fast shipper and I even returned some unused, not necessary parts that I ordered and refunded me 100% at no cost within one day of return of the parts.
If anyone knows where you can get the same parts cheaper, let me know.....otherwise buy with confidence from these people, I can assure you will be totally satisfied with them.

Just another comment if anyone orders new rotors that are OEM Mercedes, they are coated with a grey protective coating-plan to put in more than one hour, plenty of brake cleaner, and lots of elbow grease to get this coating off-it is not easy and takes time to get them ready for install.

Not advertisment at all, I asked earlier before I ordered from them, no one ever replied, so I did and found the best service I have seen and everything was just as you would receive from the dealer. Rotors are stamped Mercedes with the logo on them. Just wanted to let other know as no one seems to know anything about these people. Drilled rotors for 07 C230 Sport were $114 ea. can anyone beat that, if so i was screwed!

They are Balo rotors. There is no advantage in Mercedes OEM rotors. I have 131,000 on my 2005. The OEM rotors were absolutely SHOT at 53,000 miles. I bought Balo at that point and they lasted 75,000 miles before I replaced them at 128,000. So I got 50% more life out of the Balos than the OEMs and paid less. That is a deal.
Oh yeah, and no stupid coating on them, either.

I order from OE Discount Parts in NC, they are a MB dealer and better prices than any other dealer and the extra bonus is no shipping charge on orders over $50, shipping is very quick as well.

Never had them ship to Canada, I get it sent to my other place in Sarasota and bring it home. Less than 50% of the cost that MB sells in Canada

Why would you want to take the grey protective coating off the rotors? I wish the aftermarket rears I put on had the coating - my oem fronts always look great but the rears rust whenever it rains outside.

Ha, that was completely unecessary.
The pads will take it off the 1st time you apply the brakes.
The rest of the rotor, mounting surface etc. stays protected by this coating.
So, are these guy a dealer or what?
Or a broker like parts.com?
Annapolis dealer is still cheaper.

I think I called these guys, and they drill and plate Centric rotors, which are cheap chinese crap. Note they promote posi-quiet pads. Also cheap chinese crap.
Not on my benz!
I'd call to be sure, but I checked 'em out and then went with mercedes brand.
Last forever, don't warp.
I've got 100K miles on the fronts with Akebono pads.

I find that their prices are the same as http://www.oediscountparts.com/partl...?siteid=215242 the difference is that OE overs up free shipping
