Hi,
I have a 2005 SL600. As you all may know the SL600 has non-cross drilled rear rotors. I like the sporty look of cross drilled rotors. Does anyone know if the SL55 rear rotors would fit the SL600? Of course I tryed calling both my local Mercedes dealer and Mercedes USA both of which were clueless!!! Any help would be appreciated.

I am getting ready to do my brakes this week and was wondering the same thing.. Can I put rotors from a SL55 on my 2004 SL600 ?

This may answer your question from the article found here.

The rotors are big enough to double as manhole covers — 14.2 by 1.3 inches in front, 13.0 by 0.9 in the rear, vented and cross-drilled at both ends. The diameters are bigger than the garden-variety SL's, and the fronts are squeezed by eight-piston calipers

He has an SL600, not 500.

They are the same, you can swap between the two. (55/600)

As I understand it, the SL600 and SL55 share the same braking compenents. One has an ///AMG sticker and the other has the MB branding. However the SL65 gets a bigger setup.

Yes, the 65 gets the same brakes as special option 030 SL55's.

Though the calipers are the same, they use different brake pads (600 vs 55)..supposedly. I can't get anyone to answer my technical questions on these cars.
