I bought drilled rotors for my 430 on ebay... brembo drilled rotors to be specific... I am happy with them and I have noticed that I have less of a brake dust problem since I have changed the rotors.... I use stock pads from the dealer

I got some brembo blanks that were cross drilled and semi-metallic pads, front and rear for under 600 installed. My friend got the exact same set-up as mine and has been having problems with the car shuddering when he applies the brakes at high speeds. I didn't have ANY problems w/ my set up at all.
So I guess you just have to be cautious about buying the cross drilled brembo blanks which are being sold on ebay for so cheap.

I'm Interested in changing mine also
I'm also interested in changing my pads and rotors off my 55.
Does anyone know as well if the new style AMG brakes (silver with AMG logo)
can be retrofitted for a W208?
Are those rotors from Ebay real Brembos?

But yeah, I've seen the C32 AMG brakes fit on our W208s w/ no problem. I think the calipers will just be kinda upside down. or backwards ....
someone correct me if i'm wrong please.

Ive been waiting on mine to wear out for a while, im thinking about getting porterfield brakepads, cryogenically frozen/slotted rotors, stainless steel breaklines, and a better brake fluid (so it doesnt overheat at the drop of a hat)

So for now I just ordered drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads that will be coming in on wednesday and I also ordered a Lorinser decklid spoiler that I wll be picking up form the body shop today. Were you at the AMG weekend in Jersey cuz I didnt see any other clk's there.
