Please help (Brake question)
Are the brakes rotors different on 2012 C300 and 2013 C300 due to the bigger engine? I ordered some rotors from brakeperformance.com and their car guide listed the 2012 C300 as either 204.080 or 204.081 and I got 204.080 which won't fit my car but looking at EPC my 2012 VIN shows at 204.081 and a 2013 VIN shows as 204.080
Thanks.
Thanks.

This image is what their website shows for part number and dimensions. (I wrote in red) The left ones are for 2012 C300 204.080 and the right ones are for 2012-2014 C300 204.081. Did MB change brakes for 2013 and they got it wrong thinking 2012 fronts is the same as 2013+?

So that means the 2012 and 2013 rotors are not the same thus they sent me the wrong rotors? (What I was trying to figure out) Well looks like they already noticed that when I just talked to them.

Doesn't look like they were willing to eat the cost of $70 for expedited shipping so now I have to wait a week for ground, great. Have spent over three weeks trying to get these rotors and their website issues keep delaying it.

Question since they now giving me a hard time about it. Can 2012 C300 be chassis 204.080 and 204.081 and have different break size for the same model?
That is pretty much what they are saying. You ordered brakes for 2012 C300 204.080, but you actually have 204.081 so you now have to return and pay restocking fee + shipping. My problem is, is a 2012 C300 even 204.080? As far as I can see that would be a 2013 C300 which means your website is wrong and is confusing customers.

2012 C300 = 204.081 and 2013 C300 = 204.080 yes or no? Cause from the 10+VINs I've run 2012 is always .081 and 2013 is always .080. Also 2013 = bigger engine and I would imagine bigger brakes. 2008-2012 = same engine, same brakes, please enlighten this blind hard headed person.
Thanks!
