the place i got the rotors from sent all the same direction which is not ok but i have to put the car together and cant wait on 8 days shipping so if you can see both sides at once FU, its a street car

anyway 249 for all 4 drilled rotors 114 dollars for all four pads, wow i saved like 600 bucks

ok ok on to the rotors i measured the front anyway you can think and they are the same, in the picture the front hold down bolt is not in but it even fit, I could not ask for a better fit even if it was the amg rotors

so lets put it to rest
2005 c230 sport k 330mm work perfect i even set my old rotors on top and they are maybe 1mm bigger on each side i did say maybe

c32 rears 300mm work perfect, its snowing but im gonna go break the biathes in,,

o i bet you want pictures

Just curious. I looked on a couple sites for rotors, and the 2005 c230 sport is listed as having an 11.33"/288mm front rotor? Saw that the c320 is listed as having a 330mm front rotor. What site did you use?

that sounded kinda gruff to you, lets rephrase, you have to specifically ask them for the sport k rotors that are 330mm, i can pm you the number i bought mine from if you like

i used just standard c43 brake pad fitment

Sites I went to only listed the c230 sport. Listed engine was the 1.8 kompressor. The c320 on those sites are listed with 330mm front rotors. Info on where you purchased would be appreciated. Thanks.
Looked on ATE brakes website and saw the difference with c230 and c230 sport. Don't know why the sites I looked on didn't show the difference.

ABS light is on?! Use R129 rears and 05 230K sport fronts... That's what all other clubs have said. Did you get these to work right?

Autohausaz has the cross drilled fronts for the 05 c230 sport k. Those rears I can't seem to find.

Are the 05 c230 front rotors vented or solid? Its about time mine were replaced. I also had a tech tell me the other day that the clk430 rotors are the same as our c43 rotors. Is this true?

your front rotors are stamped with the AMG logo on the upper part of the hub.
CLK430 uses smaller rotors in diameter than C43.
Maybe the rear ones are the same 300mm in diameter?

if your tech says clk uses the same front rotors as your c43,I bet he doesn't know much about MB cars?
look for other tech.

Ive read it three times. I get they need to be sport. Are they still vented? The rotors that your using in the pictures appear to be solid. Im viewing this on a cell phone btw. I cant see the pictures very well.
