I'd also be interested but all my searching has left me to believe MB is the only place for these!!

I bought a set of OEM MB front rotors for my S55K on Ebay for $200 each...I bought these way before I need them but saw a deal...Keep watching Ebay. I wouldnt reccomend buying aftermarket rotors, they most likely wont be near the quality. Of course, if you need them right away...you might have to bite the bullet.
My 2 cents.
Here is a place for the pads, but they dont have the rotors:

The cheapest I found the front pads and rotors was for $1700.

Let me know if anyone has a cheaper price!

That's what I am finding. You would think there would be an aftermarket rotor... I know there isn't a huge market,but there are plenty of great aftermarket rotors for most cars for 300+ bucks, I would imagine someone could machine a few for our cars at 450 or so and clean up.

Is this a better price or about what you have been seeing? Keeping in mind it's only for the fronts....

keep in mind, it is only for one of the fronts.

I found one place that has them for 740 each, but now I can't re-find the site because I started madly surfing around looking for something either a) cheaper or b) same price but better made.
