2017 GLE350 AMG package brake question

Just bought this suv and I maintain all of my cars, but confused about rotors. The suv came with AMG bumpers, wheels, calipers and drilled rotors. So do I have same brakes as GLE43? On fcpeuro they appear to have brake kits for non-amg GLE's. Where can I buy correct rotors at a decent price?

GLE350 & GLE400 do not have the same brakes as GLE43:
GLE43 has 14.8" diameter front rotors and 13.6" diameter rear rotors;
GLE350 and GLE400 with "AMG exterior package" have 13.8" diameter front rotors and 13" rear rotors.

Check brembostoreusa.com for good quality and well priced Brembo replacement rotors. For pads I would avoid Brembo pads and stay with OEM Mercedes pads.

Three additional options:

- enter your VIN on mbparts.mbusa.com and the correct parts for your VIN usually can be found
- use this to find your parts: http://mbepc.net/#gsc.tab=0
- download WIS and EPC from ebay for $10-$20 and use the factory parts catalog with your VIN
