Advice on new Rotors for CLK 55 ?
Hello,
I'm in Europe (France). My CLK 55 AMG (2003) has MB rotors (drilled) and EBC Yellow pads.
My front calipers are Brembo 4 pistons and my rotors are 345*30mm
With the MB Pads I had not matters with rotors, but with EBC they are cracked (too much heat
)
So I think to change with grooved rotors with still EBC Yellow pads.
I have seen some good reviews about TAROX G88 rotors. Have you any advice on this choice ?

Personally I use slotted rotors, not drilled. They wipe the pads clean, offer plenty of surface area to dissipate heat and don't crack like drilled rotors (I roadcourse track the car on the weekends).

New rotors received
There is a left and right rotor, not as MB rotors
On sunday, I will mount the new rotors with Yellow Stuff EBC pads and Goodbridge brake lines
