I purchased a set of front and rear rotors from iRotors for my W208 and had no issues whatsoever. Their pricing is not that bad, though I don't like the generic semi-metallic pads that they are throwing in with the setup. I would opt for Akebonos or EBC Reds. They basically buy blank rotors in bulk and then have a machine shop drill and slot them, though the zinc dichromate finish is a nice touch. See if they will sell you the rotors only and get your pads elsewhere...

My setup of choice are factory rotors with Poterfield R4-S pads as it combines improved performance with low cost and factory durability. The Evosport rotors are very good too but a large chunk of change so I skipped them as all I do is drive around town.

For $800 plus shipping thats not really that great of a deal.
The factory rotors for front and rear cost $460 total
The add $225 for the EBC red pads and you have your replacement brake parts for $685.
If you go with the akebono's then you'll be closer to the $800 price.
Porterfield's would put you closer to $900.

That is odd. Do you know if those are list or discounted prices? The best price I could get was around $105 per corner with the list at $130.
