2012 W204 C300 Sport - Brake Service/Upgrade Questions.
Alright so looks like I am due to replace my pads and rotors here pretty quick.
Of course I will be going with Akebonos for pads. But what about rotors?
I was thinking either Zimmermann or StopTech. What would you guys recommend?
Also should I just go for the C350 rotor kit, since the C300 is 292mm (I believe) and the C350 is 325mm (for the fronts). I would love to get some cross drilled rotors for the rears as well, but don't know what to look for.
Any help would be great.
I am from Canada, so I don't want to get stuck with duties, taxes, import charges, etc, But I do like rockauto.
Please suggest your idea and places to purchase down below.
Thank you!

I was looking at upgrading my fronts from the stock size of 295 mm to the sport and C350 size of 322.4mm. (As of 2013, 322.4 was the standard front rotor size on all C300s.) BrakePerformance.com is a good source for parts and I've used there slotted product on my Volvo for 100K+ miles with no problems. I'm checking if caliper changes are needed for the larger disks now.
