Who makes C32 rotors and where can I get them?
I have searched the forums and the only companies mentioned that are currently making C32 rotors are Zimmerman and whoever makes the OEM rotors. I have called 6 different brake vendors nationawide and can't find rotors anywhere. Can someone help me with a recommendation on what company is still making these and who is selling them? Thanks. By the way, Brembo does not make/market a stand-alone rotor for the C32...only a brake kit.

yeah..i dunno who make our oem replacement. i have searched too online and i ended up buying zimmerman. all i can say is that it good. i have it on for half a yr, havent had any issues with it, the price was good too. also i add porterfield RS-4 pads.. pretty good compared with original set-up...and also i hardly notice any brake dust.

BTW, I have seen some from R1 Concepts on ebay.. Not sure of the quality.. Anyone tried these?

I put on Zimmerman's last fall. So far, so good. I bought some cheap hi-temp aluminum paint and painted the hats silver. I hate seeing rusty rotors. I know it's not harmful, but with the hats painted bright silver, the brakes/wheels look that much better.

I put on the Zimmerman rotors, this year. They came already painted gray, even on the wear surface. First application of the brakes and wear surface looks perfectly machined. The rest of the rotor is still gray.

I spoke to Mark at Frozen Rotors yesterday. He called me back after researching some information for me about our C32 rotors, like who actually makes them. He told me Raybestos made them. It is hard to believe that a German car manufacturer would purchase rotors from an American company, but that is what he told me. I had heard that Brembo made them, but he confirmed this otherwise. Anyway, I just purchased 4 from oempartsdirect for less than $300, shipped. The OEM rotors should match fine with the Porterfield R4-S's I just bought. Good luck.

A guy at one of my local tuners said he could order me Brembo drilled front and rear rotors with a 6-8 week turn around. I am getting my rotor's replaced next week on Wednesday, but I decided to just go oem rotors and Red Box pads..

Mark, where did you go to locally?
I was talking to Albert at Group5 today and he asked if I knew anyone who made the rear cross drilled rotors for the rear. Coincidence or is that where you went?
