Default Re: SLK Rotors

Yes sir, Doc, doing some brake upgrades, new tires, new battery, and maybe a few other things

Ok, according to the company I ordered from, the XF fronts are different than the SLK fronts, but the rears are the same. He said they are VERY similar and only one digit off in part number. Once I get these rotors I will let everyone know how they work out. I was going to go the disc Italia route (I have TK disc italia pads waiting in a box) until Lantana pointed out that these rotors only come in one side (so one side would not cool nearly as efficiently) and the quality of them was on par with the inexpensive ebay rotors. Well I went ahead and got ebay rotors, D/S with a black coated center. They are good looking and once I get everything on (D/S rotors, TK pads, stainless lines, dot4 fluid, painted calipers with logos) I will post up some pics. I was lucky he had the same exact rotors both in stock for the XF and last gen SLK. He called within 24 hours of me making the purcahse of the 4 SLK rotors to confirm I had an XF (I had to fill in vehicle info to purchase) and he let me know the fronts were different parts and he was sending out the SLK rears and XF fronts, keeping my fingers crossed, but so far the customer service from this place has exceeded anything I have recieved lately.

As I say, once everything is put on and 'tested' at the dragon I will report back on how it is all working out.
