Rotors/brake pads kit question???

The time has come to replace my rotors and pads but having trouble picking the correct ones.
Some websites ask weather or not it has the AMG sport package and other ask about a code 950 or so which is confusing.

Could someone steer me in the right direction.

TIA

Slotted increase the brake pad bite on the rotors for better stopping power while the drilled holes work towards keeping the rotors cool. I can set up a slotted rear/drilled front or a full drilled and slotted package for you as seen below.

I wish I would have asked what pads come with these kits, they are NAPA POSI Quiet pads. I feel this kit is not described as what it is. R1 Concepts has nothing to do with this kit. E Line Rotors & POSI Quiet NAPA Brand Pads is what they are selling.

You can take it how ever you want... I could have bought everything at the local Napa and saved on the wait and possibly got it cheaper. I wish the brands were mentioned so people could do more research on them, all you see is R1 and Acute pushing the product but the product is masked buy the "R1 Concepts" logo when you're really getting Napa brakes etc etc.

OK, I see what you are saying, looking on the R1 concepts website, they do have a Eline product series of rotors and they have multiple product families of pads associated with them. so you can pick your pads and rotor combos and deal direct.
