It does not seem like most of the major online parts companies offer the front rotors for a C32. Is the dealer the only option?

Yes, dealership is your best option for OEM rotor. Everyone else has almost the same price, maybe 5-7$ less but I guess I'll pay that extra few bucks to know for certain I’m getting OEM parts. I just changed my front brake pads and rotors yesterday. It was a very easy and straight forward job. Cost me $360 in total and learnt how to install AMG pads and rotors! good luck!

Answered my own question.

PureEMS carries a Zimmerman drilled rotor for $105. I had a good experience with Zimmerman rotors on my Audi, so I'm fairly confident about the quality. So, how tough was the installation (I assume you did it yourself)?

Has anyone seen the stock rear rotors drilled to match the fronts? Fifth is PureEMS a member / sponsor of the forum? If not please pass along the info to me in a PM.
Thanks

I mis-typed. It is PureMS (also their domain name) or Pure Motorsports. I believe they are a sponsor, but not sure. Very professional.

I am sure that a thread search would turn up tons of information for you in your quest -- this has been discussed dozens, if not hundreds, of times here on the forums.

FWIW Brembo makes a better rotor than Zimmerman....

Anyone know of a a good pad and rotor replacement write-up? I watched buddy of mine replace the pads and rotors in his coworkers Boxter S. He also did a full brake fluid flush. The only snag we ran into was parts. His coworker didn't get the right parts from the dealer, which led to a short set back. We figure it can't be much harder to do it to my C32.

Thanks

I did search, and it helped. There were a few useful threads. I found Pure Motorsports and bought the Zimmermans. I could not find anyone that carried Brembo rotors (front) for the C32. As noted I have had good experience with Zimmermanrs.
