Aftermarket drilled rotors?
Anyone know where I can source a set of front/rear drilled rotors? Can't seem to find anyone that has these for a 2006 ML500...
Thanks, Mitch

My thoughts are not to use aftermarket rotors. Actually these are not race cars and the standard rotors provide excellent braking with no fade. They have been engineered and tested by MB to provide optimum braking. Any aftermarket ones are crap shoot and are untested by MB

don't believe me? go drive down hill and ride the brakes and see after 10 mins of used how mushy the braking feels.
cross drilled are used mainly in racing applications because of the ability to disapate heat and prevent brake fade
to the original poster will not have any issues with using cross drilled or even slotted rotors. don't listen to sosh. the main issue x-drilled users will have with x-drilled is the fact there will be spider webbing cracks around the drilled out portions which is one of the characteristics of x-drilled rotors
the only reason mercedes doesn't use it across all their cars is because of cost. all amg models use cross drilled rotors.

Mitch, if you do install these, post and let us know the difference.
My ML has always braked to my satisfaction, so I have never thought of a swap.
However, my 500hp turbo 91 Mustang wears this front and rear.
