Where did you get your setup? And should I go with PBR Ceramic / Semi Metallic Pads to complete the package?
Thanks in advance

My guess is that these are Brembo blank rotors, drilled & slotted afterwards by another vendor. If this is the case, there is no way to guarantee quality.
CKAL,
The performance increase you are feeling is most likely a combination of having new brake components, as well as a higher-friction pad. Typically, on stock brakes, unless the rotors are lighter, they do not serve much of a performance benefit.
Thanks,
Ben

My BremBo GT kit is up for sale if anyone is interested......
They're currently on my CLK430 W208 but will also fit C class W202, E class W210, SLK and off course any other W208 chassis.
The BremBo GT kit is 13" 2pc rotor, 4-piston calipers in black with white lettering. This one retails for $3295.
I'm looking for $1800 + shipping, but make a reasonable offer I can't refused and they're yours

these pics tell you how those brakes r being drilled by a guy like clkal at home

I would recommend evosport factory replacement OEM cross-drilled rotor or real Brembo GT.
