Brakes and coils S65
Hey guys
So I have decided to do some maintenance to my S65 before spring and I have a couple of questions.
Has anyone had experience with Centric front brake rotors on a 65? They seem to be about the same price as OEM give or take. I just wonder if maybe they are
better than the old stock MB's.
Then I also want to ask if anyone has used a NGK coil pack? NGK 49004. I am planning on putting in new plugs and I have already put in a rebuilt pack on the passenger side so I
figure when I pull the drivers side I might as well replace the coil pack just in case.
I had the TCU finally tuned this winter to match up with the ECU tune I had done years ago. I can't wait to try her out once the snow freaking stops!
Thanks
Johan

I replaced by stock front rotors with RB (Racing Brakes) lightweight rotors....I've been very happy with them. They were about $1500 for the set vs over $2200 for the MB parts, and they're damn near 10lbs a piece lighter!
As for coil packs, I found a deal at AutoZone on the OEM factory packs.
