It's time to change my brakes on my clk55, so was wondering if these brakes are any good compared to the oem ones.

theoretically, cross-drilled rotors should have better performance than non-slotted and non-cross-drilled rotors.

I have seen many ebay cross-drilled rotors crack, due to the manufacturer not doing enough R&D.

From what I've heard,they are made from low grade materials and warp very easy.You'll be buying stock ones either now or after you buys these.

Our factory rotors on our CLK55s are a two piece unit. I would be very careful using anything other than factory rotors.

Alright thx, I guess I'll just go with the stock ones. One more question, do I need to change the rotors too or I can just get the pads..

Depends on the rotor condition. You may need to have the rotors resurfaced not replaced.
