W204 C63 Coupe, W166 ML350 BlueTEC, 928GT, C5 Z06 & IS300 race cars, EQE 4Matic+ on order
I've had the slotted ones on one of my P-cars and they were good (no warping or cracks even with track use and very abrasive track pads), but I don't see any that fit the C63. The only aftermarket "high-performance" rotors for the C63 that I know of are RB (Racing Brake?) and Evosport (no personal experience w/ either). Where did you see the Giros that fit the C?

I have them in place of the stock P30 rotors. Got them from ACG. Cant say Im sophisticated enough of a driver to say I notice a different in feel EXCEPT I do think they do a little better in the wet. I have had them since mid summer of 2013, and they seem to be holding up well. I do about 90% city, 10% highway, and 10% track. Yes, I know. I drive more than most so equals 110%

Oh, and I believe they are about 5 lbs a corner lighter than stock, and as well they are equipped with truly directional cooling vanes, unlike the stock 2 piece P30 rotors which are the same on either side.

That's great news if they exist for the C63. You wouldn't experience any difference in brake feel because of the rotor change. The cross-drilled ones look nice but they all crack around the holes under heavy (i.e. track) use. Slotted is all you need for outgassing, plus a proper two-piece rotor allows you to replace the rotor and leave the hat in place. That would be the way to go, especially on the P31 cars with the "1.5 piece" rotors that are fused to the hats and are not individually replaceable.

Girodisc made the Evosport rotors, these are the same ones.
It is a 40lbs reduction in weight over the OEM P30 rotors. This includes front and rear for the drilled and slotted, they also make slotted only which would be slightly heavier.
These are a direct replacement for OEM rotors and are directional.

Mine should arrive somewhere next week so I will let you know.
I have ordered them directly from Girodisc.
You can also get colored centrepieces which I did like but since I will get new Vossen wheels in bronze next month I stayed with standard grey.
I payed 1530,- dollar including new pads and shipping to europe, so i think it's a good deal

IIRC, the P30 rotors were actually two-piece (steel rotor & aluminum hat) and Evosport claims a 26lb saving over the P30s (the 40lb saving is over the one-piece steel rotors), which is still very significant. Good to know the Evosports are made by Girodisc.

Rolf is the 1530 for front and rear rotors + pads?
If so that's a great deal.

Yes, they are definitely a reusable hat, which they are not on the P30/P31

Yes, now that I think back on it, I believe you are correct with the 26lb figure - 8lbs per corner in the front and 5 lbs per corner in the rear. Or vice versa. Im getting old and the RAM is in limited supply. Once I dont need the data anymore I clear the cache and move on.

My own RAM is in short supply too, plus my OS has numerous memory leaks.

update
discs mounted.
All went easy, only the hole for the fixing screw is missing but once in place and the wheel bolted on it's no problem.
They look big under the car. I also like the grey/blue color of the hub.
Since my old discs/pads were badly worn, it's difficult to tell if they brake better because everything brakes better then,
They may be lighter than std discs but certainly not lighter than P30/31

You say the hole for the fixing screw is missing... What is the 6th hole for?

I measured my front girodisc brakes were over 13 pound lighter EACH in the front and over 6 pounds each in the rear. I had standard one piece calipers but the difference in steering feel was big the car felt a good amount more agile especially on aggressive turn in. Def didnt notice much on acceleration but im sure it helps a bit
