rotors

I was looking at these rotors by DURA International for my CLK350 2007

https://www.amazon.com/Dura-Internat...-benz%3Aclk350

Anyone every hear of them or use these before?

Never heard of them, but their ad copy made me laugh out loud. I would not buy them for that reason alone. Probably Chinese.

You know, for all the griping about Chinese parts, I will say that the Centric rotors and Posi--Quiet pads II put n the C240 have worn very well. They are just now, after about 70K miles, have started to give me some vibration. Otherwise, they stopped better than stock and cost me about $300 all around. I can't complain about that. I put D+S cryo-treated Italian rotors on the CLK and they were vibrating from warpage in less than 20K miles.

I tend to use Brembo or Pagid. Pagid are OEM for VW/Audi, or they used to be anyway, and my father and I have pretty much stuck with those two. Depending on what's the cheapest. Can be a little dusty on the Pagid pads though. Not as bad as the MB ones that were on it though.

There are 2 things you should always spend money on when it comes to cars. Tires and brakes. Personally I run OEM rotors and pads. Also if you rotors are not drilled I would suggest staying with a solid rotor. Drilled rotors are prone to cracking especially cheep ones. There are only 2 reason people use drilled rotors. Previously brake pad material was not the same as today and would offgas. The point of the holes were to relieve the gas between the pad and the rotor. The other reason is looks.

clk and e coupe
We have rotors for your car. I use them on most of our installs, They are on our clk which has seen allot of track time and high speed stops and have no warping. They are centric blanks and are turned in the USA. They have a lifetime warranty against warping.

Here is a pic of a clk 350 we just did.

I have always explained drilled rotors in this manner. For those of you old enough to remember "corporal punishment", were you ever spanked with a paddle that had holes in it vs. one without? The ones with holes delivered much more energy to the butt. Hence, holes in rotors when being slapped with brake pads can transfer much more energy. It also helps with cooling. And on the subject, slot are meant to both expel any surface contaminated as well as keep the pads clean.

Since we have them for so many cars and offer different options we dont have them on the ebay site, it would be thousands of combinations.

Are you also looking for pads? We have stop tech's i can pm you a price on everything.
