I changed all 4 brakes but not the rotors, I was told that needed to change the rotors but I held out. My brake rotors front and back of my R 350 need replacing very soon, actually in a couple of weeks. Any advice of which rotors? Which is the best price best performance rotors? Rotor upgrade??? AMG??

P.S. I replaced to EBC red pads.

Check and see if Brembo offers any rotors for the 350. I put some drilled brembo rotors on my BMW X5 and they have been excellent. Plus they look nice. By the way I used the EBC red stuff on them and those pads were great. They really bite down, but I ended up driving too fast and braking hard. The pads didn't last me more than 20,000 miles. But I would buy them again.

I would do as suggested by WallyR350, check Brembo, they make brake system that are far superior than most stock systems :)

I had those golden shining drilled rotors too. :thumbsup: Got it from TireRack. I hope Brembo can make one for R too.
