030 performance brake questions???
Okay so I figured I'd post here since the W219 sections does get a lot of traffic. So I bought a CSL55 with the 030 performance package and I had a couple opt questions with the brakes and I hope you guys could help.
1.)Are all rotors suppose to be 2pc, front and rear? because my rears are obviously 1pc so I'd assume he swapped them out?
2.)Can I revert back to the original 1 pc rotor or will they no longer fit?
3.)I'm under the assumption that I can use normal pads that only the rotor and mounting bracket are different?

My rears are 1pc also , I believe the 030 pkg upgraded the fronts only to 380mm size while retaining the same caliper/pads. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
I have Evosport 2pc 390/330 rotors on my E55 and want to put them on this CLS030 car, I'm pretty sure the rears are the same but not sure on the fronts. I hoping to swap the 390 rotors for the factory 380s and only have to install a small spacer on the caliper like I did to swap them on the E55. I'll post the results either way.

Okay, Thanks that is good to know. I just assumed that they were all 2pc and he switched them out prior to me buying them. I wonder if this rotor will work for me if I'm reusing the OE hats? http://www.turnermotorsport.com/p-17...ight-pair.aspx

The same bracket works, you just install slightly longer mounting bolts and put a small spacer between the caliper and the bracket. I'm hoping I can do the same thing with an even thinner spacer to run the 390s on the CLS where the 380s are now.
