I've ordered from these guys before and they offer free shipping for orders over 50.00 but under 10lbs.... I've been trolling for rotors cuz I need some in the next 5k or so. Any better options closer to CA would be appreciated.

MACH-E55

Toadster

Toadster

junk? or who's the OEM?

they look like Centric specs Centric Parts 120.35068 Premium Brake Rotor with E-Coating

E55Dimon

I ended up with oem rotors for like 95 a piece shop price. These are heavy so shipping cost is also high.

Toadster,

I was looking at the Premium Dimpled and Slotted rotors on the site you were talking about. Lifetime warranty??? What do yo think? Anybody had any experience with these rotors? Mine are starting to crack and will need to be replaced soon.

Bigtickets

Toadster,

Have you done any more research on rortors? Mine are starting to crack at the ports up front. Need to replace asap

Toadster

cant find good deals

i'm curious though with all these guys finding them for $95 at the dealer?

Bigtickets

Not sure I want to go with stock rotors...but also dont want to spend $1500 on some 2 piece set up either.

Check out this link, kind of the direction i'm heading.

$435/pair? you can do OEM rotors for ~$250 shipped currently

Do you guys change the pads along with the rotors or you guys change whatever is worn out? and not necessarily both of em at the same time ?

Toadster

changing my pads to akebonos - just for the dust reduction to be honest...

http://e55-amg.blogspot.com/2013/03/...-pads-omg.html

my pads are a little over 1/2 way, but I just can't stand the dust my car stays clean looking for about 1/2 a day currently...

I've been told otherwise but I think my rotors need replacing. My mechanic told me that they will last me at least until my pads wear out

and the pads on the car basically have 70-80% life on them right now.

So that's why I was wondering if changing just the rotors is a good thing or a bad thing ?

I don't care about the brake dust, so when I do change pads I'd go with the same OEM or something with a better grip/bite/stopping lol

^^^^^^^^^

No, you definitely want to install new pads if you are changing out your rotors. They need to wear in together. Besides, youve got the breaks torn apart anyways and it would take an extra 15 seconds to put new pads in.


Toadster- going with the Discitalia's and ESB pads. Ordered them this morning. I will let you know how they work out...

$93/ea? http://www.carparts.com/details/Merc...5EBR682XL.html

Those look good. I wonder if they are directional rotors?? The OEM rotors are not. One direction scoops air, the other expels the heat the proper way. When I was at the track this past weekend there was a 200 degree temperature delta between the two sides after a 25 minute session. Cracks in mine are real bad now, some are almost an inch....

BTW, my new set of DiscItalia's are on some truck in the middle of this storm and should be here by Friday. My ESB reds and wear sensors are already here. Plan to install them this weekend and will post pictures of them when they arrive.

Toadster

unfortunately, if you check powerstop's website - there is no E55 rotor part

Come guys, find some cheap rotors for the E63 too We don't want to be left out of the bargain savings

LOL I agree, Wish there were more e63 owners on here

Toadster

$684/ea on parts.com

Thanks. Those are indeed cheap. Was just hoping someone has seen them for an even better price? (Wishful thinking, but maybe someone has seen it). My rotors and pads will be toast soon so I am actively searching.

Sandpit

Yep, seeing you E55 guys shopping for lower priced rotors is cruel..

I just replaced the fronts on my E63 with Racing Brake rotors and their ET500 pads. http://www.racingbrake.com/Two-piece...ONT-p/2141.htm

Very happy with the performance so far, after a week on the car. Seems to be less dust than the OEM pads for sure.

+1...........1+,,

ZAYED,,

One day the E63 owners will see a sub 500 front rotor. (Hopes and dreams)
