c43 brake rotors
has anyone replaced their stock amg front rotors with some other non-oem type? i was doing some research, and found ATE/Zimmerman rotors for $65 each on the web, versus amg's which run for about $300 apiece. anyone have experience with these?
thanks...

I used Zimmerman rotors on my Audi 2.7T They worked great,i dont think you gonna have problems if you put them on your C43

Are you sure they are for the front?? They are probably for the rear. As far as I know there are only OEM available for the front @ around $250ish

Good chance that is a mispriced rotor...
I searched all over the web before I found mine and ended up paying $600 through www.rimier.com (current link $539 LINK ) it'll end up about the same w/shipping - this price is with the cryogenic treatment too. I think throwing anything more expensive (i.e. Brembo or otherwise) on a ten-year old car is quite frankly wasting money - the AMG brakes are more than adequate.
