E55 Al. Rotors

I heard, MB replaces "E55/CLS55/SL55" front Rotors from:-

(Textar) # "230 421 07 12" to (Zimmerman) # "221 421 18 12/07",

cause so many complaints about Textar's, !!quick fades & cracks between drilled pots!!,,

is that correct..?, anyone tried that..??

ZAYED,,

BTW has enyone tried out Meyle rotors on these? Meyle is a good fabricator atleast on the bushings etc. This is a great price on those!
