Who has the best deal on these? I'm looking into OEM unless someone has 'em cross-drilled/slotted at a comparable price point.

I have recently done the brakes, both front and rear, but I am not happy with the look of the front rotors - there's a minor lip on the outside edge from wear.

I think you might be beat- OEM or Brembo - Big Brake Kit I think are your 2 choices - I might be wrong..

I may well go with OEM. I replaced the rotors on the girlfriend's BMW, a 2000 328i with a nice set of Brembos - cross drilled and with the hub powder coated black for $105 plus $25 shipping on ebay, and this was for BOTH rotors. I have had no such luck with my C43 obtaining such a rate.

For other vehicles, including other MB models - I can vouch for this seller...it's nightsauto. He's out of Canada...I had absolutely no problems with the sale and shipping was prompt.

FYI, if you race your car, you might not want cross drilled. Slotted are the way to go.

I ordered mine from Patrick at BMA 1 888 262 3911. That was the best price. Just mention Ken from Vancouver.

KC36AMG how much did you pay at BMA?

Oh BTW....Nah, my C43 aka "Whitey" ain't getting raced, she may be driven hard sometimes, spirited perhaps...but never raced. I don't abuse her at all....

I think my price was $205 US for the fronts. The dealership list was $445 CAD.

Theses are the OEM rotors and what a rotor. You can see the quality, it must be a 2 or 3 piece rotor. It is something else.
