There is nothing for a C43 in that price range. Our brakes are a little different than the other W202's and cost a small fortune. I suppose the brakes for a C280 could fit...

c43
why wouldn't c280 rotors fit a c43, c43 brakes fit the c280, and c32s fit both of those... I could be wrong, but I thought mercedes were good about having all brakes fit most of their cars, so would slotted rotors from a c280 be that much of a problem for a c43?

Correct me if i'm wrong but aren't the brakes on C43 from e430. Is hub or anything different that wouldn't allow fitment? I know our axles are different from that of E-class cause the got different lug pattern. *******s! I wanted to be able to put BBS Lemans on my car.
Also, tirerack has brembo big brake kit available for C43. Anyone know of anybody using that? Any better than stock. I think set costs like $3K

www.thebrakeman.com has a nice storm kit that is much better than brembo and stoptech, I would say go for that rather than anything else, I think they can also do a custom rear big brake kit too

True dat.
$250.00 will get you (1) rotor. It's about $650.00 in parts to change the front pads and rotors. This fear of mine is slowly becoming a reality as I will have to change mine soon.
I have researched alot about crossover from other models/manufactures and I still find that only OEM rotors are available for proper fitment. The OEM rotors are very nice however. That is the main reason I think that the rotors were custom drilled.

'98 C43 AMG. Obsidian Blk w/2 tone slvr/blk interior
youre responding to a 2yr old thread.
the only type to buy are vented and slotted, no drills. ive seen brake dust build up inside the vanes of the vents and impede air flow. so go with slotted and eliminate the risk
