Check E BAY..

This may help!

 

For rotors:
www.brakeworld.com

For Rotex Gold pads - me:

Here's what I can do (these prices are about 4 weeks old):
Rotex Gold front D9740D @ $70.20
Rotex Gold rear D9779D @ $59.74
Shipping w/ insurance @ $12.00
Total = $141.94

These are the same pads that TVT sell for $157
Let me know if/when you want them and I'll check availability and prices (which fluctuate a little bit).

 

He's looking for ROTORS, not PADS.

 

I know, but if I was replacing rotors I'd replace pads too.
Thought it may be of some use to him.

 

My hood prop is getting replaced under warranty right now...check the dealer if you still have warranty

 

You guys replacing your hood prop supports need to make sure they are replacing them with the proper ones.

Be sure to check the back for that special "button" that allows you to fully open the hood.

Don't let the stealerships swindle you with a cheap gas strut support.

 

Thats a good tip...I will make sure to OPS check it as soon as they replace it.

 

Does anybody knows if the Hood Lift for a 03 MB SLK 230 will fit? I searched E-bay and the only one I can find is for the SLK

THANKS
