My rotors are as follows
Internally ventilated composite front brake discs, size 390 x 36 mm
15.5*1.4 is the caliper. So they are much bigger than the standard AMG rotor. No idea what they cost

AMG rotors are about $750 each. The E55 ones are single piece steel. They are cross drilled, but very heavy. The E63 ones are two piece floaters, but actually only 5lbs lighter than those on the E55. They are, however, very nice quality. The 030 rotors are more and only match up with the 030 calipers. The ceramic rotors are closer to $15K and are matched to their own calipers as well.
Also, the E63 and E55 both still have the single steel rotor in the rear. The catch is that the rear incorporates the parking brake into the hat portion, so any replacement has to worry about that stress as well. Simple aluminum would get torn up quick. I think the EVO ones has a sleeve made of steel in that are, but I am not for certain.

Yup, the EVO rotors are a good deal. RennTech also has some fronts that may be a bit more. I am biased and would assume they are higher quality but don't know much about the EVO gen II ones.

List on E55 rotores are fairly cheap,the E63 rotors list at $900.00 each for the fronts.Evos are fair priced compared to E6s rotors but not 55's,they are cheaper.030's have got to be crazy priced.
