There is always a set of EVOsport lightweight rotors that we can get for you but it seems like you are looking for regular less expensive replacement.

I believe Evosport does make them for 209. I might be wrong but I remember reading they were like 1k a piece

Every now and then Evosport will run a one week sale where they will sell a set of their lightweight rotors for about $1500. If you can wait a bit they may have another sale soon

Brakes on the 63 are not cheap at all...About $250-300 for the front pads too...For how well they work, that price of admission isn't too bad in my opinion...

the stock rotors lasted me over 100K miles. I only replaced them because they were actually worn by >5 mm!

That makes me feel better. Just like the oil change costs more, but the interval is much longer.
