waste of money. Your stock brakes are fine.

As for them being "ugly", I don't see why.

thanks oliver for response!

so ive been thinkin, i guess dont fix if not broken,

however say the rotors do go bad, are there any cheaper rotors crossdrilled and/or slotted??

i just dont want to put $2500-4000 on wheels just to show how rusted my brakes are lol

thanks again!!

just fyi:

cheaply drilled rotors is just asking for trouble. The cheap ones are mostly for cosmetic purposes and do NOT have better performance, and are very susceptible to cracking, which is a very dangerous prospect.

$0.02, your car, your money.

and no, your stock brakes are not ugly. But if you REALLY want, i would suggest bigger calipers painted! Like the AMG brake kits?
