Need to find a Brake Kit for 2000 C230K

[Cosworth]

Does anyone know where I can get a good brake kit for a 2000 C230K. I would like upgraded rotors, pads, and calipers. Any suggestions to where I can find what I'm looking for?

I have been looking for a barke kit also. Go to ebay.com and type w202 rotors and there are some nice pairs of drilled/slotted rotors for c230. I plan on getting them. You probably wont be able to find any urgraded calipers. Cause i wanted to switch out the calipers also, and i couldn't find anything but stock.

Brembo are the best upgrade!!

drilled rotors = less braking power
slotted = more brake pad fade

Yeah i believe there is a brembo kit, but it cost a couple grand.

when i had my brakes done i ordered zimmer cross drill discs threw autopartswarehouse ...i paid about 75 bucks a piece (front) and shipping was free, since its the busy time of year for them they may have went up in price since i bought mine around march. but these used your factory calipers and since i had mercedes do them even used factory pads also ..all i did was get a good ceramic caliper paint and painted them myself..... they look pretty decent and didnt pay 2500 dollars.....i also found out if you paint the discs in the center and edges you wont get surface run like i did....only cosmetics http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z125/Deslogic/logics002.jpg

Do the 208 L/R rotors fit the 203 AMG kit?

I suppose the easiest solution would be to use aftermarket C32 rotors. Probably much more likely to get a discount anyway.

stock shouldnt be that expensive

That was just a secondary benefit, i was just hoping to get L/R directional slots or drills.

i rarely see them.

even brembo only offer them 1 sided.

xcept maybe on the BBK kits.
