Cross Drilled Rotors
Guys,
Does anyone know of any compatible CLS500 cross drilled rotors? I love the look of them and am not looking to replace the whole system with Brembo or someting like that.

I am a 350 but the brake is the same as you guys.
Check my album : http://groups.msn.com/FXClub/shoebox.msnw
the V8K 360mm rotors are damn heavy for us.
I swapped a 2 pcs lighter disc of oem spec,slotted but no drill.
putted V8K 4 pot brake kits on the rear, drilled.

Glad to know you had a C32.
If you swapped the oem front rotors to the rear, you lose the foot brake.
there're rotors for rear and cover the foot brake.
BTW my wife drives C32, I upgraded her rear brake by a local maker 6 pot/350mm & keep the factory upfront.
You guys all have 18" & above rims, no problem to fit AMG 55 brake kits in theory, though they're too heavy.

As you can see the AMG 8 pot caliper up there.
To cut the weight, 2 pcs 380mm cross drilled rotors are used,still save 30% of weight than AMG 360mm rotor.
p.s
R230 fins look even better on our W219.
