So, making the car less safe and driveable is worth $1500 plus labour?

Rafal,

I think he was pointing out the fact that his engine now has less unsprung weight to push around and it's noticeable when accelerating.

Do you really see no benefit to these lighter floating rotors?

They are on the way!!! I just got a tracking# number.

Next up: Call the dealer to schedule the install and take care of recall issues.

Anyone else get them yet?

Parts are beginning to ship. We should have most of the E55/CLS55 rotors sent out by next week.

I received mine last week with upgraded front pads. The rotors are a piece of art. They are being installed on Wednesday and I hope the work as good as they look.

I have not received anything as of yet. Nor has my card been charged for the balance (meaning only the deposit was processed).

Lude, are you representing the GB members on behalf of EvoSport?? Just curious if a problem develops.

Thanks!

Marken,

When I last spoke to Simon from EVO, he told me the orders will not all be filled the same time. I suggest you call or e-mail Simon directly. I would not expect any problems.

Sorry I was just asking cause I have not received any word in regards to my own order and have friends that have already received theirs.

OK. That makes sense.

When I originally read your post, it came across as if you were running the GB instead of Rock. I was slightly confused, but now I understand.

I can restore my level to DEFCON 5!

Thanks for the explanation.

A few pictures of a front rotor that was delivered to me. It is a beautifully machined piece. The last picture is the back of the rotor.

Brake squeal is a function of the brake pad compound, not the rotor.

In my case I have no squeal and as Mr V stated its a derivative of the pad which I swapped.
