my rotors are drilled, you can get the c230k sport drilled 330 mm rotors for 40 percent of a c43 rotor and look way cooler,

sorry wasnt trying to be mean, the rotors are drilled and vented in the center, i dont think you can guy a 1.25 inch thick rotor unless its vented,

some guys are using r somthing rear rotors they were all over the place in size, the amg c32 is 300mm and vented only difference is if you ask for the c43 they will not cross reference them to a c32 they will just tell you no luck on drilled, again sorry if i sounded rough, Thanks,

No its all good. Did you get yours off a website or just called in? Will you PM the phone number? Did they ever send you the correct direction front rotor?

Outlawlatemodel

i believe this is the number talked to a lady had to walk here through it. on the drilled i just let it go its not gonna hurt the cooling or anything and they go the same direction on both sides wish it would have been right didnt have time to let the car set for the price 249 for all 4 ill live with it 5624345670

austinholloman

Killer price for sure!

Outlawlatemodel

yea it included shipping, if she needs my name to look up my order let me know, i have oe wheels but man i gotta get a set of thin spoke wheels to show them things off

austinholloman

Yeah, its just about time to change my rotors and I figured, why not try these out for 20% the price of the OEM's. You didn't feel any loss in stopping power right?

you never mentioned it was the rears until now.
fronts are bigger on your car and the rears I guess are the same as clk430 but I may be wrong?

austinholloman

I know. I broke me knee on Saturday and these meds aren't making me feel very sharp. Yeah he kept saying they were the same and they did look very similar but I just didn't want to do it until I knew for sure.

KJI3jflarryfe93

knowlegde is power dude, and now you know for sure about rotor size.
that's why these forums are for, to help each other out when problems occur.

i went went with a pad that doesnt have as much brake dust so the brakes are the same or just a little less then before, you can go with as sticky of a pad as you like, but warning super sticky means brake dust constant. anyway i paid less for 4 rotors the one new front c43

503C43 ////AMG

what pads did you use??

Outlawlatemodel

Akebono Euro Ceramic Pads

503C43 ////AMG

I have heard good things about Akebonos...

austinholloman

^ I have these pads now and they works great, car is dirty before the wheels ever look dusted.

503C43 ////AMG

That's what I have heard, I need them BAD as the brake dust that is created is UNREAL on my front rims.

austinholloman

Does it still show on black wheels?

503C43 ////AMG

a little bit, it REALLY shows on the machined lip...

austinholloman

Yeah my M3 has almost the same style wheels as your car and OMG the lip looks soo freaking bad after about a week.

Outlawlatemodel

yea the wheels have almost no dust on them, when i wash the car the wheels are the same as the car, but i dont feel they are as good as the metalics i replaced them with

Outlawlatemodel

still doing great even in the fuc hing snow crap,,,

Outlawlatemodel

no vibrations no pulsing pedal,,, i like

KJI3jflarryfe93

tell me your likes and dizlikes about Akebono euro ceramic pads.
How long did you have them?
I just ordered them from Tirerack, I hope I made a great buy for $72 dollars?

Are they:
clean pads, like everyone's saying?
quiet pads, NO squeeling?
short stop when braking hard, car stops fast?
rotorfriendly pads, pads and rotors last longer?
any brakepad wear sensors in the package, was seen on the display box for
C32 pads?

overall, the price $72 bux on Tirerack, is it a great deal for these pads vs performance questions above?

austinholloman

i have these same pads:
My wheels stay cleaner than the rest my car.
The rears do squeal a bit in revers but I think that is my rotors causing that.
No shacking at all
Lots of bite
Short braking is almost violent it stops so fast.

KJI3jflarryfe93

then I can be happy with my purchase I guess?
you're telling me the truth here, you're not being sponsored by Akebono?

austinholloman

Ha- I WISH I was.... My car would look a whole lot different with that kind of backing!
