Need rotors advice

Am set on Akebono ceramics front and back, but unsure of front rotors. Dlr. is out of sight. There are some good prices on eBay, but am leary.

Brakelabs, Brake Performance, Eline, Centric, Zimmerman, original Benz rotors, what?

I am all over the board; feel one is what I want then read a crummy review.

Suggestions?

2007 4Matic.

Thanks.

Stick to original or better; stay away from cheap ebay ones..you get what you pay for and in the end its your own safety and that of your passengers etc.
I have just picked up a set of Bosch high carbon ones ,guess more difficult to get in the US..
Try a search on this section as well, there is plenty of info about the subject and brands to be found here.

Thanks for the non-help/guidance. Chose Akebono Euro Premium pads front/back. Zimmermann Cryogenic rotors. Will live w/ the choice.
