I had their cross drilled rotors on my 2011 but used Akebono pads. No problems to report and braking seemed a little better. The cross drilled on the back definitely looked better than OEM non drilled.

Awesome, how much did you pay for each rotor, if you don't mind me asking?

I was quoted at $179.95 at Brake Masters this morning and am thinking about it. thanks!

Let me know if you need the Centric PosiQuiet pads for the rear. I bought them for my 2008, but totaled car before I needed to have them installed.
New in Box- I'll give you a good deal.

Sure, let me know how much you're asking for, inlcuding shipping. I live out in California.

I am tired of the brake dust on my C350, even with still a lot of pad left, I decide to replace the rotors & pads on my C350. I bought the OEM rotors (around $200.00 shipped) & Akebono EUR brake pads (lass than $100). I am more happy since I replaced the rotors & Akebono brake pads. Very little dust on my rims from car wash to car wash (3 to 4 weeks depend on how dirty it look). No more scrub...the rims every weeks. Note that Akebono brake pads come with brake sensors, so you do not not have to buy the sensors. I am going to replace the wifey E350 with Akebono very soon.
Report back what you will do with your car.

Thanks for the feedback.

I just bought these Akebono on Amazon:

Amazon.com: Akebono EUR1341 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Brake Pad Set For 2008-2010 Mercedes-Benz C Class: Automotive Amazon.com: Akebono EUR1341 EURO Ultra-Premium Ceramic Rear Brake Pad Set For 2008-2010 Mercedes-Benz C Class: Automotive

and these Centric rotors rear right and left also on Amazon:

Amazon.com: Centric Parts Disc Brake Rotor 128.35112R: Automotive Amazon.com: Centric Parts Disc Brake Rotor 128.35112R: Automotive


By far they got the best prices after researching a few websites. Should receive shipment next week and will have them installed.
