The rears wont fit, IIRC. You need to find yourself the cross-drilled r129 rears but the fronts will, $249 is still a great price for all four. Sell there rears and you have you self some super cheap rotors! Who made them, btw?

$175.36 shipped for front set here:

I believe the rears are actually 300mm. Looks to be the same as a C32/C55.

As I said, w203 230k sport fronts and r129 rears will work. Not the rears from C32.

Are you sure about that? I cross referenced rear brakes between C43 and C32/55 on bimmerspecialist.com, and they come up with the same part numbers. Maybe not cross drilled, but I believe dimensionally they will be fine.

the rear brakes are the same as a c32/c43 and several other cars, i didnt feel like spending another 500 on front rotors that seem to worp easy so on another thread a guy put c230k sport rotors on the front, c43 rotors are 334 and c230 are 330. 4 mm is so small i am not going to worry about it

also be cautioned that you have to have 2004 up c230k sport rotors because up to 2003 they are 288mm/300mm

if you look the r129 rotors are probably the same as the c43/c32 rotor. I had a terrible time finding an exact year on the r129 rotors because they to come in different sizes. Then i found that a 2002 c32 rotor is the same part number as a c43 although some people say they are different but are the exact same number, we will see next week when i get them.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Won't matter anyway

since they offer no improvement over full plate rotors and as always will crack at the holes on the down side.
When will they ever learn?

Its not so much the price its no one wanting to cross reference like gm or ford does, most people actually told me that iwas wrong I did not have a 98 c43 that i had to have a 99 as there books say there is no 98

on drilled rotor cracks whats the difference the amg c43 rotors warp and drilled crack at least its 700 dollars cheaper to replace when they are bad

You can buy the 2004 C230k Sport rotors Autohaus AZ that are missing the cross drilled holes. They are still a quarter of the price and don't crack.... If you like the look of cross drilled (as do I) then you just have to clean the holes out as often as you can, the build up and heat change is what causes them to split.
