After over 80K miles, it was time to replace the rotors. I really wanted to go with Girodisc front and rear since they cost as much as OEM replacements, doing the work myself. Since I had other stuff to purchase, I decided to try to find a cheaper but still OEM or Brembo options. I think most know about the 2-piece floating 390mm Brembos, but after searching, I never found a good alternative for the rears. There are other brands like Zimmerman that are pretty cheap but really wanted to match the fronts. I finally found a 1-piece Brembo that is exactly the same dimensions as the OEM MB, but only $183 ea. instead of $600 ea. Total cost for front and rear were less than $1300, see pic. I went with Power stop Z26 front and Z23 rears. Both sets cost less than $100 and come with all the pins and clips, the rears even came with new dust boots. After several hundred miles, I'm super happy with this combo. Not as grabby as OEM pads, but pretty damn close with no dust.
