Cross drilled C32 rear rotors
Has anyone had their C32 rear rotors crossdrilled? What company did it and can they also cold treat the rotors?
Anyone have the part numbers for these rotors? Thanks

Can't wait for the next GTG, how about Redondo Pier? Your C240 looked very good at the last GTG but it was way too hot. Now your MB looks even better with the HRE rims, only one word, WOW.
Those are by far the best looking rims for any C class, and they are light.
While sitting at Evosport I hefted some of the other 19 inch rims. The Lorinser rims were one word, HEAVY. I just can't see putting heavier rims on no matter how much they cost.
I can't tell, are your rear Brembro crossdrilled rotors the stock size or the slightly larger C32 size?
I will be getting my Renntech spoiler and rear window spoiler soon. I also need to paint the CLK grill body color. Who do you recommend for paint jobs? How much paint required fot two spoilers and a grill?
I have a Brabus catalog, trying to see that new steering wheel, they have some real nice ones.

I would not recommend drilling your rotors. The "cross-drilled" rotors that come stock on Mercedes are actually not cross drilled. The holes are cast into the rotors. Drilling holes into an existing rotor can induce hairline cracks that radiate from the holes, thereby weakening the rotor. Casting the rotors with the holes avoids this problem.
