Taking a leap of faith with iRotors
Welp,
I went ahead and ordered rotors on all 4 corners from iRotors.com and gonna get them installed tomorrow with new pads. I don't know of anyone here that's used these on a W211 but I'll keep everyone posted. Here's some pics. Aren't they purdy? Oh, and it looks like the blanks start out made in Germany.

Are they cast with the holes, or are the holes drilled in them afterwards? If it's the latter, keep a close eye for cracking around the holes after heavy braking.
Otherwise, they look great!!

on a second look it looks like the second one from the left is a completely different rotor then the other 4... looks bigger and looks like it has more holes?

I'm assuming that the rear rotors do not have directional vents, or do they?

The 2 on the left are front and the 2 on the right are rear. The rear ones are much smaller and much lighter too.

After doing a little more research, it appears that people are actually liking these things. I don't track the car and only make occasional panic stops to keep from killing the deer in my hood so hopefully these suit my needs perfectly.

The dealership is installing them for me so I hope they would know the difference. Plus the boxes are marked L+R. And no, the rears do not have directional vents.

They are asking 399.00 plus shipping. There is a little "Make Offer" button on the auction. I offered 250.00 and they declined. I then offered 285.00 and they accepted. With shipping it was like 350.00.

Here we go.
You can't see much of the rotors with my stock fat 5 spokes on there but you get the gist. Once I put my summer wheels back on, it should look pretty good

This is a pretty old thread that someone dug up. I had a horrible experience with these rotors. They warped severely within the first 4K miles. The company promptly told me to get bent after I contacted them.
OEM is the only way to go on these cars.
