2013 GL450 Brake Rotor Size

Hi - bought my car used at 51k miles. Just had the service light come on. Shopping for brakes and saw brembo makes affordable rear rotors/pads with sensors. I would do the install myself, so that is just $400 in parts for front and back.

One thing though - they all advertise 375mm size front rotors... isn't this too big? I do not have any sport package or appearance package that I know of. or did they shrink the rotors to 350mm for the 2015+ GL450's?

Looks like the 2013 models came with the sizes front 375mm and rears 345mm. 2014+ base models came with the sizes 350mm and rear 345mm.

please research prior to purchasing. Double-check photos. My 2013 came with slotted rotors in front and back. I went with Zimmerman, which is OEM. Be careful when buying Brembo, some are made in Italy and some are made in China. Confirm that they have anti-rust (zinc) coating. I've posted my experience on my brakes.
