Rotor upgrade

Finally upgrading my front rotors to the CLK55/63 rotors. Was using mis-matched calipers/rotors before.

Selling my 03-04 CLK55 rotors if anyone's intersted - posting on here first. They'll fit oem 03-04 CLK500 and 55's as a direct replacement. Basically the 4pot front calipers. They were purchased in May 09, but are in great condition - no warps, perfectly true. Will let them go for 100 bucks plus shipping. If you're local you can swing by my house. Will post pics tonight.

about 360mm or just over 14". they're actually not that much bigger than the 03-04 55 rotors.

Duh, I took a look at the pic again and saw the 360 stamped. Those rotors are expensive, last time I checked I think the were around $560 each. Where did you get them from, if you don't mind me asking.

I just ordered them through my shop. I paid more than 560 but it's fine - my shop has hooked me up a lot, espeically on all the labor work in the past.

Just an update - I had them measured today and there wasn't much left. Not going to sell them to someone like that, so I tossed them.

Tell me about it. I was going to pull the trigger with a used set that was on sale in the classifieds recently. But I decided that I will wait until the SC is done first, then get a NEW set from either parts.com or Steve@MBenznl.
