60 each for drilled rotors? Sounds like a pretty good price

I have a set of these for sale brand new...I think they are for a C230 as they do not fit my C240. Made by Serro in Germany and are chrome instead of the powdercoat as seen above. If anyone is interested lemme know!

(Shameless plug - hope you don't mind )

THE C350
I hope the pagid pads go better for you than they did me. They were fine for about 5k miles then started squeaking and grinding really bad. Matt also had a similar experience with his pagid pads.

my mechanic did the brakes today. He put the new rotor on and just before installing the pads he used a pry bar on what i think was the brake piston or the rotor? It didnt come to my attention until i started thinking about. he wanted me to take my car to the shop he works at which i said no since i wanna watch. i DONT EVEN TRUST MY OWN UNCLE WHO WORKS AT JEEP DEALERSHIP. so did this ******* break my car?

I'm assuming he was compressing the brake piston.

Well you don't need to put a pad in front of the piston to compress it. I usually don't. Just take off the caliper and press the brake pedal to see if its still compressing properly.
