It's been discussed that the diameter of your new, drilled, front rotors are a few mm less than the stock C43 rotors (330mm vs 334mm).

Have you also verified that they are the same thickness as the stock C43 rotors (front and rear)?

I actually can't explain how much I love these rotors. The price is stupid and performance if just amazing. If you don't order these, send me the extra money you would have wasted on the AMG rotors and ill buy these, ship them to you and keep your spare change.

You must have installed them the same day you got them!!??

I'm glad to hear that you are so satisfied. It's a great option for all C43 owners.

Would you please re-post the source?

Thank you.

Looks exelent, and works very good. but they are NOT cooler than the stock ones. you search all about SHW brake discs?! the big problem with this rotors: PRICE!, they are sooo expensive.. Audi RS series, Lamborghini, BMW M series, Ferrari (not all) run on SHW brake discs they are pieces of engineering! anyway the price is no good at all, same for our E55's i'm serching for options too

1999 C43 AMG
OutLawLateModel/austinholloman . . . I ordered the 330mm rotors for my 99 C43 from http://www.frozenrotors.com, as well as Hawk Performance pads. Each front rotor goes for $136 (includes cryo process). I also found a 10% coupon code on google. Anyway, I had my mechanic (Benz certified) install the new brake parts, and he later confirmed how smooth it was to install everything, and that he really liked how the brakes felt!!!! The mechanic reports no problems; all worked perfect! Thank you guys for sharing your findings, time, testing, etc.

Hey guys, need new rotors and considering these. Obviously love the price but I'm a little sketched out by the quality. Anyone chime in on the quality who's had these for a decent amount of time now? Outlaw? Has anyone done any track work with these? Also does anyone know who actually makes these rotors??

Thanks

Had mine since January. Work like champs. Just bought slotted though to replace them (always preferred slotted over drilled); got the slotted fronts for $160-shipped

My cross-drilled ones were from C-Tek. OEM is Zimmerman or Balo.

Thanks for the response! Ordered mine yesterday. Think I got drilled and slotted, but won't matter too much seeing as I have Monos.

Just to clarify for anyone else that's looking, the rotors (05' C230K sport fronts and C32 rears) are made by Centric, which is the company that owns Powerslot and StopTech. The rotors are made in China, because they don't have regulations on their metal manufacturing. Then they are machined and coated by the company with the phone number (they said their name, but I never caught it.) They allow pickup and shipping, and all major credit cards. I got 4 rotors shipped to NC with zinc coating and drilled and slotted for $247. Now to see that they hold up, which it sounds like they should

I think (C32 & C43) uses the same Rear Rotors # "210 423 08 12", isn’t....??,, and do you know what’s the weight of those Centric Rotors,, i believe

the stock (05 C230K) is "9,68 kg" each, & the Rear (C32/C43) is "7,000 kg" each, im i Right.......??

ZAYED,,

Not sure about the rears but the front OEM rotors for a C43 are made by SHW
