MB Brake rotors VS after market rotors
I'm planning to replace all four of my rotors. I checked the price on MB part list and the original front rotor is only around $120 each and rear $50.
I checked some after market rotors and they cost almost 1 1/2 more then the original parts. why is that? are they any better than the MB parts?
Here is the after market brakes

Do you guys have any recommendation for rotors? I did a search on other rotors but they cost 4x as much as the MB parts.

look more carefully at the listing, those prices are for the front set. (pair)
So it's not that bad. I would just stick to the stock Brembo/Zimmerman rotor. You cant beat tried and tested brands like Brembo.

I thought stock AMG rotors (front and rear) were much more than that? Are the prices you posted the prices the dealer quoted? I was going to go aftermarket because I though it would be cheaper for comparable rotors but looks like I was way off.
Lighter rotors would be nice but I don't track the car and have no real need for it. Would rather put the money saved under the hood.
