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,

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?

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.

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

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?

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.
