i noticed on the Eline front rotors for the clk500 were not available.. but the rears are. first question is are they sold out or they stopped producing them.. second question is, are the eline's worth it if they are offered again? Third would it be so bad to get premium fronts and eline rears?

anyone with experience? thanks in advance

1. stopped producing them
2. wont be offered
3. nope thats the plan (for me)

nice, thanks.
that savings will almost pay for the akebonos

if you live in an area with salty roads, your elines might be susceptible to rust.

My next project is new rotors and pads. For the money the premiums are the way I'm going. They will be better suited for the winter months where salt on the roads can cause havoc on parts like this.

i live in Arizona, will elines suffice here?

Mka77

They should be fine.

bheng

if you check ebay. r1concepts used to have the elines on there. i dunno if they still do.

bbrain

oh thanks, they do have them on there for about a buck and a half less.. opinions on Elines for front rotors compared to premium rotors (again i live in AZ) thanks

bheng

im making an assumption but most of the guys here use the premiums for front.

although on my friends lexus, he uses the eline and said they were just fine. im in the sf bay area.

and the difference between the two are supposedly better grade metal.

I know the premo's are more money, but they will look better longer. Just my .02

bheng

true story. after long consideration, when i do pull the trigger to buy the rotors, ima get the premos for the front only on the account of the front brakes actually carry a lot of the breaking power compared to the rears. or at least it seams that way.

i just put in an order from premo front and eline rear. thanks all ^_^

oh and one more thing, is tirerack best place to get akebono's? thx
