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.)

a few other companies sell kits for $200-280/rotor
$500 is way over priced another Mercedes tax

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.

Normal markup is 100%

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

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