Slotted rotors for C43?

Anyone know where they are selling slotted rotors for a C43? I was hoping to upgrad my rotors and havent had any luck finding slotted rotors.

Thanks

We carry Brembo cross-drilled or slotted rotors for virtually every Mercedes. With the speed of the C43, they will make a nice aesthetic upgrade, but won't do much to help your braking. If you are looking for increased stopping power, I would suggest the 13.1" or 14" Brembo Gran Turismo kit.

We do have them for all w210 models except the AMG. CLK55 and E55 have rear rotors available; either cross-drilled or slotted. For the fronts, you would need to upgrade to a big brake kit.

Ben:

What size are the Brembo rotors? I believe that my stock rotors are 13.2 inches. Anyway, if they are about the same size, could you give me a ballpark figure of a front set. I know they will not really improve stopping power, but I will need to replace my rotors soon. Also, do you carry brake pads that do not let off alot of brake dust?

Thanks in advance,

DLS

The rotors are OEM replacements, so they are exactly the same size as what you currently have. Changing the front rotors will cost about $400. I haven't had any good experience with low-dust brake pads, as they have all led to squealing. Brembo's big brake kits seem to be low-dust without the squealing, but definitely are an expensive option to remove brake dust

That is great. What is the price of the cross drilled rear rotors for the E55. I would like a set because the rear OEM rotors are cast iron I believe and the rust shows up though my open design aftermarket wheels.

Kev,

I'm out sick right now. Email me, and I'll get all of the information for you.

Thanks
