Benz Works 2 piece rotors
Hey everyone! The life on my rotors and pads were coming to an end and needed to be changed out ASAP. Called up Serge & Nick @ Benz Works and got their 2 piece rotors installed with Porterfield R4S pads. Also had a Service A done while I was there and also took care of the usual maint stuff. :y
Initial review...I like them. DOH :rolleyes: :rolf: I REALLY got my moneys worth out of these old rotors and pads:rolleyes: :D Was lookin to reduce some weight/upsprung weight so I opt for these. Been hearing nothing but great things from the people who have already installed these so I'm following in their footsteps. Followed the standard bed in procedure and they work great. Didn't really feel a difference from the rotors from the get go, but the more I drove it, the more I could tell there was definitely a difference. I live about 45 minutes from them. The car does pick up quicker (Or maybe it's just what I feel:nix:) and also definitely brakes better. The more I drive it, the more I sense the difference. I can't wait to put even more miles on them and also to try them out at the next track event. Should be pretty exciting. :y Any questions about the rotors and pricing, hit up Serge or Nick @ Benzworks and they'll take care of you! :y Enough talking....on to the pics....Sorry for the crappy pics, took them from my phone. :rolleyes: :p: My old front rotor after it was taken off... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...BrakeRotor.jpg The new front rotor before it went on... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...BrakeRotor.jpg Here is the new front rotor installed... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...rakeRotor2.jpg Close up... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...rakeRotor3.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...rakeRotor4.jpg The old rear rotor... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...BrakeRotor.jpg The new rear rotor installed... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...rakeRotor2.jpg http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y90...BrakeRotor.jpg |
Nice!! I didnt know they offer the rotors. I'll pm them.
|
THOSE LOOK FANTASTIC!! Would these be a more cost effective option to the Evosports?
|
Awesome brotha! Next on my list. Thanks for the info.
|

THOSE LOOK FANTASTIC!! Would these be a more cost effective option to the Evosports? yes,better priced.i had set installed on my E63 last week.they are in between Evo and Rb on weight,but i believe stronger than Evo and better priced than both. i won't go so far as to say my car feels quicker,but i am happy with the brakes. |

very nice looking
|
Sun how much did you pay for all 4? PM me if you'd like thanks :)
|
the 55's will probably feel more of a difference b/c they are one piece all around and the 63's are saving major weight only in the rear.
|
price?
|
so are these the same size as the OEM 380x36 ... do you know if they have them for the CLS, and has anyone seen these in 16" size ? I iwll need to change my 16" Renntech rotors soon on my CLS. Thanks,
|
Nice Rotors
|
hey Sun, you have 2-tone calipers now? :D
|
Weight vs stock? Pm me with a price please
|
Those are awesome Sun! :bow::bow:
Well done Serge and Nick! |

I would like to know the price as well :nix:
I see Evosport's on sell for $1800 and a Group Buy for $1500 I keep looking around hoping to find the direct source for these rotors. :naughty: |

So I've put about 350-400 miles on the rotors and pads now. Must say that they are absolutely fantastic. The pads bite hard and quick and the rotors look and perform fantastic. I have noticed that I now cruise at 80 compared to before. (Use to cruise @ 75 on the freeway.) Same petal position as before, yet I'm traveling faster now. :D I'm slowly adjusting and find my MPG are gong up a slight bit. Overall, money VERY well spent.
I'll try to snap some pics of how they look now with the wheels on and everything either tonight or sometime tomorrow. :y To those asking about price, I'm not exactly sure because I'm getting a few things done and so they are just adding it on the total I owe them. |
