FWIW, I was quoted ~$2100 for "complete" set, ie, 4 corners. Which makes 'em cheaper than EVO, but still!

(Not related to seller, OP, or anyone else on the board. Was just curious, etc.)

$500 a rotor is still to high

2 piece rotor are not cheap and what Serge has is a high quality product. You have to remember you get what you pay for.

theeddie

actually they are. baer brakes sells kits for $320 rotor
a few other companies sell kits for $200-280/rotor
$500 is way over priced another Mercedes tax

And they are all from China

actually bear comes from Arizona i think the calibers come from Australia

There are no more rotor manufacturers in America. Just companies that buy China rotors and put their names on them.

I heard EBC makes their rotors from a UK manufacturer but they don't make any for a W211 E55

my rotors are due to be changed -- I cant be paying $500 a rotor when I can get OEM for around $100-- performance can be spent better.
If they can bring the price way down I can sneak it past the wife.

theeddie

yep that's my thoughts.
id pay $200 rotor

guysandiego

since- i would do my own labor -- i would entertain 250 a rotor --at the very most -- if i REALLY want them -- i think i can go $300 because father's day is coming

Normal markup is 100%

So I'm guessing they paid around $250 from the distributor.

Not two piece, but I really like the look!

I hope the price is for a set...

At ~10lbs. per corner saving, you should see a huge improvement in acceleration, braking, and handling...

theeddie

i would hope not i would guess they are in for 120 each

I agree....but I still do not understand why the have to cost $500 per rotor.
