I use and recommend EBC redstuff to everyone I know. Just check out how many posts I have defending them alone

I have Track my C32 on redstuff with ZERO fade, unlike stockers.

Save the yellows for a more track oriented car.

Side Note: There were two cars at Beaverun last night on EBC Blue stuff. A STRICTLY race pad that they just released, but boy did they work GREAT.

Again, RED for the win on the street. At least in my book.

i have OEM rotors front/back with akebono pads all around.. when i installed the pads a few thousand miles ago, i didnt change the rotors.. but now i have vibration.. thinking of purchasing new rotors, but should i replace the pads again or not?

where can i get least expensive OEM rotors?
or what is a good alternative to OEMs?

I purchased mine from a US ebayer: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...952797&vxp=mtr
The sensors dont fit so you would need to get some OEM ones or reuse the one that you have. I am pretty sure you would find a bit cheaper somewhere in the states than this one.
Perhaps search for the rears :Eur603 on amazon would be cheaper.
