Question HELP... Brake Rotor Replacement
Looking to upgrade my brake rotors for my w251 looking to get cross drilled rotors just for the front, I like the stopping power on my w203 and it has the cross drilled fronts, I know its not going to stop as good because of the weight, but will help. Does anyone have any suggestions such as good reputable companies? Ive come across the name Zimmerman alot.

Also looking at Akebono pads... Am I on the right track?
