Did I score or will it be a bust?
When I was digging around for brake rotor dimensions yesterday I found the Raybestos part number for the rear rotors on a SLK55 with the 030 performance package.
They are the same size as the rears on the C55 but should be drilled and slotted.
While not quite the upgrade I was looking for who can pass up a deal on $14 rotors?
They showed 2 in stock with free shipping. It's Amazon Prime. If they aren't as advertised they go back at no charge. Kinda hard to lose on this deal.

05 c55 silver, 98 Imperial Red C43
I dont know man.
I ordered cheap stuff on amazon before(BOSCH air flow meter)
Had the part number, the logo and all but it did not work at all.
Car ran like ****.
Returned and ordered the real thing and the car ran like a champ.
Hope these dont take a dump on you.

Counterfeit parts were on my mind, too.
As a machinist (granted, part time) the machine work looks good. They were obviously cast from a high quality mold. At this point, only the material should be questioned. However, after close inspection I do not see any inclusions or voids.

I agree. That's why I jumped on it.
However, I was cautious about getting fake Raybestos Chinese garbage.
Raybestos makes parts in China. That makes it easy to rip off.
I'm pretty sure these are real Raybestos parts and should be good to go.
