CL65 rotors.. where to get them?
Hey guys
A buddy of mine is looking for CL65 rotors, the cheapest he found is $800 a peace, what do you think about it? Is it cheap enough or does anyone have a source to get those rotors cheaper
Thanks

You have one of the finest cars made with a super hi performance braking system in a $200k package. Why do you want to put crap parts into a car like this especially if performance is a concern?
You can only get factory brembo brake rotors for the 65 from a MB dealer. All other sources are non-brembo and you are sacraficing the metalurgy integrity with 3rd party parts.
Highly recommending purchasing the factory brembo rotors. A good low dust high performance brake pads are EBC red stuff or Porterfield S4 which are a ceramic/kevlar compound.

Are you just dense or plain stupid? They're a myriad of OEM part sources on the Internet offering the exact same parts (65 AMG rotors in this case) for far less expense than Dealership RETAIL

I'm all for wise spending, just not when it comes to brakes. Btw, I'd like to see you (or anyone) find CL65 brake rotors for under $800 shipped on the internet, then find someone willing to install brake parts on a $200,000 that you didn't buy from them.

WoW you are indeed...
I'm not stupid, nor dense, and aim your buffoonery elsewhere in this case. If you want to price shop your brakes then by all means go for it, but don't discount the fact that it is a $200,000 automobile, its not a honda. Don't treat it as such.

I've taken multiple discounted OEM parts bought elsewhere to Dealership for install, & FYI Rainman $800 isn't Dealer list
it's a $200k CL65 you have to pay Dealer markup of $246.25 per side = $492.50 you guys are idiots skimpin' on Rotors, plus they wont install them

Don't really care how much you get off on it, nor what you think of my opinions and choices. You started the name calling and buffoonery, so go aim that garbage elsewhere please.

I can find a myriad of quality, competent shops that deal in high end cars that will install simple rotors on ANY car, even if they didn't buy the car or parts from them. I bet for no more than $150 too.
plus, many of the people that have CL65's now purchased their cars used after the price had tanked--I wouldn't exactly put them in the $200k owners club.

Gotcha.
Disingenuous on your part, I asked a rather direct question...Why buy a high end automobile than price shop its maintenance? Even if you could find it for cheaper online, what about shipping, installation, and warranty? No dealer would warranty product not purchased from them, even if they are OEM parts. 
Not sure why what I drive matters in this case. But I buy what I want for my rides because of the quality of customer service I receive, not because of the price. I want to know the service is done responsibly and correctly. I'll price shop my refrigerator or television.
Good for you, really seriously. But good luck getting them to warranty any of it.
That may be, but there is still expendable income for someone who can afford even a used CL65.

the reason why I asked what you drive is because it seems to me that you have no idea about high end cars. you come off as a just a dreamer that lives in the boonies that probably drives a rust bucket and that in turn makes you think that some sort of reverence should be placed on a the buyer of a pre-owned CL65 or on a pre-owned CL65.
it also seems that you really don't know much about cars as well. do you know how easy it is to swap out rotors? if you have the tools, it's a very easy job that doesn't take someone very skilled. if the rotors were ceramic, then I'd agree with you, but steel rotors require minimal skill and tools.
with regards to warranty, they're brakes, MB warranty doesn't cover brakes and if you're worried about some sort of catastrophic failure, you should remove your tin-foil hat. also, most people would rather trust a competent shop than most MB dealerships.

No, actually it isn't. I don't know a single shop in all the states I've lived and worked in that would warranty anything (especially brake rotors) not purchased their. And I mean the independents, not the dealerships.
Right, I guess you know me pretty well. 
No tin foil hat here...
Actually I know quite a bit about automobiles in general. I'm perfectly competent to remove, replace, service just about anything on a car. Aside from your completely baseless assertions that I don't know anything about cars.
I'm not worried about some sort of catastrophic failure, how you maintain your car really doesn't matter to me. Go right ahead and be a meticulous price shopper, take 3 weeks to think about trying to save a few hundred dollars over the safety of yourself or your loved ones on your brakes.
are you that dense?

he probably does. he sounds like one of those service writers that knows JACK about cars or he could be a valet.
RedG probably stands for Red Galant (Mitsubishi). although he probably would like us to believe that he has a Red G-Class.

Nope.
No, I don't drive a G-class. No reason for me to misrepresent myself in anyway. I know plenty about cars, I don't need to defend myself to you, nor anyone else here. So how about you get off of it, and move on down the road.
I'll maintain my cars how I wish, and you can maintain yours how you wish, that's that.
