Cracked rotors???
So do you think these rotors are cracked?(where rotors are drilled you can see a small crack) and how often do you need to change them and whats the cost of them on P30 car.
Thanks.
Thanks.

I cant see much in the pics, please take some daylight pics if you can. BTW if you want a better and cheaper alternative, go with Evosport Lightweight rotors.
Better cooling and performance, also much cheaper to replace than OEM...

Cross drilled rotors are prone to cracking, the cracks that you have don't look bad but they don't instill any reassurance in safety that's for sure.

The rotors can also crack when you have driven hard or spirited driving and then washing your car, ie cold water on hot brakes will crack rotors.

Ha ha ha. Yes it sounds like it. But seriously, the evosport are lighter than the P30 and P31 discs and very cheap to replace since you can get the discs and hub/center piece seperately.
Also the left and right disc have different venting and cooling, the way Benz should have got em, not the same disc put on each side.
