Unhappy CLK55 AMG (W208) Brakes!!!

Hi, anyone know where i can get reasonably priced front brake discs / rotors for my CLK55 AMG (W208) ? The only places so far i can find them are the dealer and eurocarparts, and both are very expensive!! Thanks

only advice i can give u; go to ur local/reliable mechanic and let them order the parts from the stealership for u...usually they'll give shops a slight discount on parts...good luck!

The AMG rotrs on the CLK 55 are expensive. So make sure you put Ceramic pads with the new rotors. I use Hawk perf ceramics. Much less dust and doesnt eat up the rotors.

I think rotors brand new from the stealership are like 325 give or take a few. I running the porterfield brake pads. I lov em. They're a little mushy cold but when the heat up they do work.

So what brand of pads did you go with? The Hawks are 1 of the best brands....

Frozen Rotors sells Performance Friction carbon metalic pads to go with their rotors. I have these pads on one of my other cars they work great and no dust.
