Brabus 6.1 front disk rotors - Alcon replacement?

Well, a heavy car with 425 hp will inevitably incur some front disk wear!

My Brabus 6.1 needs them replacing. Brabus OEM cost is more than the "cash for clunkers" EACH!

It seems they are Alcon, but first call to them they say "our agreement with Brabus is exclusive so you can't buy them from us at half price"

Anybody got any suggestions? (apart from paying up and looking sweet)

Why don't you contact Wilwood and see if they could help you out. I know it's does not have Brabus name on it but what I hear they have great products.

If they are that expensive just get the current AMG brakes. The current AMG makes much more than 425HP and parts should be real easy to find. If you don't like that idea then get full dimensions on the rotors and I am sure one of the many manufacturers either have that or can take something bigger and turn it down on a lathe to your specifications. I would contact very knowledgeable brake companies ONLY so that means brembo or wilwood.
