04 SL500 Rotor Fitment Issue
Searching for brake rotors was never so confusing.
Currently;
The size of the front rotor on the car is <300mm and has a solid rear
All the major sites want to sell me a 312mm front rotor and slotted larger rear
Anybody buy a high carbon set ( 300mm Fr) for a Non AMG brake set?
Thanks for any replies

Having bought the wrong brake discs and pads for a Mercedes one time, I learned the best way for me to get the right ones. I'd call a Benz dealership giving them the VIN for the car, and ask to look up brake parts, pricing and availability. Then ask what are the part numbers. They'd say, "Oh, your car has the AMG brakes", or something like that, their computer knows what the car came with originally. Then, buy those part numbers anywhere, online, etc, at best price, and can cross reference to other brands like Zimmermann etc, as long as it is the "same as" the original part number. Once you know the correct part numbers of the original brake parts, you can look at AutohausAZ, FCPeuro, and all the other parts suppliers online. I'm sure someone, likely Zimmermann, probably sells a high carbon set for that car..
