Replacment Rotors

I know what kind of rotors I'm getting when mine need replacment.

The new rotors from the CL65 with the aluminum hat.

Will the 55 require modification to mount the 65 rotors and calipers?

The calipers on the 55 and 65 are the same part. So, it is my guess the rotors will be a direct replacement swap.

So how do the 65 rotors differ from those of the 55?

The 65 Rotors are 2 piece with an aluminum hat. They weigh less and are bigger in diameter as well.

Do you know the diameter of the rotors?

Now sure of the cost yet. Waiting for my rotors to need replacing before I replace them. I was thinking of going with brembo compostie rotors (Aluminum hat), however, the OE CL65 rotors may be cheaper...

A price or part number would be very helpful.
