iRotors.....yes or no?

I'm getting ready for a brake job on my E. Since I'm replacing pads and the front rotors are shot I might as well put new rotors all the way round. Found drilled/slotted from iRotors for a good price. Anyone have any experience with them? Are they crap?

What are you after and what are the specs on the new ones? The company sources the rotors and most rotors are decent. I din't know of anyone that had stuff for the W211. Make sure of what you are getting and see if it is what you want. You just want cheap replacements to yours or you wanna upgrade and how? Do you want longer life or better performance? Yada yada. If all you want is cheap, I can hook you up with MB parts.

I'm not familiar with iRotors, but if their drilled/slotted rotors do not have directional vent vanes, then they're not worth anything. Good drilled/slotted rotors will have directional vent vanes.

Here are the iRotors I believe he is referring to. I'm in the market for some drilled rotors, pads I'm going Porterfield, not sure on rotors. Brembo does not make a slotted or drilled rotor for the W211 sedan, only a plain rotor (I called them direct).

Anybody have experience with these? Any decent? Any better suggestions for drilled and/or slotted? Would like some performance, not expecting a lot, but some. Cosmetic won't hurt the situation either.

Here's another option, Disc Italia .
