I just went to look and you are correct...same part numbers as on my C300 rwd. I realize funds may be tight now, but I would consider doing all four wheels. If that's what the fronts look like, the rears may not be too far behind (bad joke...sorry!). It is good to try to maintain balanced stopping capability on all four wheels, and the new rotors/pads up front will be performing very well for you!

what is the difference between Drilled Rotor and non drilled? my 2010 c300 4matic does not have drill rotors on the rear only on the front? This is the last question :-)
so its 521 before tax for all 4 drilled rotors http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...led+Cryo+Rotor
, and brake pads http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...o+Ceramic+Pads
from tirerack.com
Im going to call a bunch independent shop tomm to see how much they will charge for install.
I would like to thank everybody for great feedback.

I order my Akebono pads from Advance with the coupon codes they have. I also use Ebates and get cash back from them. Cheapest way I have found to order them.
My rotors came from R1 Concepts. Probably a bit extreme for what you need but I would def. change yours.

I completely understand....and we all are sorry for what happened to you and your car. But, it's just a funny juxtaposition and sometimes I guess I may tease too much, but I did laugh when I read that post and saw the car right under it!

In reality, drilling is to help cool the rotor when it is working hard and getting very hot. In most street applications, it is not needed and has become somewhat of a "sporty" cue....like putting a rear spoiler on the car...helpful on the track at speed, but mostly visual in day to day driving. I think (and someone please correct me if I am wrong), the Luxury C300 has solid front rotors. You could go either way, but someone who knows the car well would realize it's been "cheapened" a bit with solid front rotors. But, if you are keeping the car for a long time, you could save some bucks with solid rotors now, and then go back to drilled fronts in the future when $$$ are a bit looser.

What do you know, I got a call from tire rack, they are no longer carrying the stoptech Cryo-SportStop Drilled Rotors. http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=Sport+Sedan
I purchased the brake pads at amazon since i got amazon prime (free shipping) and no taxes.
I just canceld the rotors order until i find new rotors.
from tire rack my options are
http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=Sport+Sedan the non Cryogenic finish and
the http://www.tirerack.com/brakes/brake...ar=Sport+Sedan that have no drilled holes.
What are the recommendations and if you have links to other websites and similarly good rotors that would be awesome as well.
