Looking for replacement rotors. Lightweight, directional, drilled & slotted.
Any suggestions for who makes these?
Thanks,

I bought Zimmerman drilled and slotted for $125 ea. But they are boat anchors at 35 lb. ea., just like the OEM. I needed an overhead crane to hoist them up onto the hub. Lightweight floaters are 2 grand for a set of 4. Not many choices inbetween that are lighter than stock.

The EVOs are 2k and roughly 10lbs lighter per corner (especially the fronts). Mine wore out pretty fast (including rotors), but EVO helped me out.

You can always go with Brembo, I'm pretty sure they have an application.

Shoot me an email if you have questions.

Sincerely,

Aaron

Which wore out fast? Stock or the EVO's?
I got the car with 75000km on it and now have 110000km. Certainly stock rotors. Don't know if they are original or not.

evosport should be the way to go, 10lbs less of unsprung weight is an added bonus

Brembo doesn't have rotors and hats for the W211. Getting calipers as well is much more than $2k.
