I hope you hook up with the right person.

Still at $500 start bid for new rotors (that are cryoed and nickeled) and rebuilt calipers, you really cant go wrong. rotors and pads alone are almost $500.

I paid $500 4 years ago just for used front calipers rotors and backing plates.

I was going to throw these on my 300CD, but I sold it before I got the chance.

All I need is one buyer that knows how good this deal is. If you want bigger brakes, you cant go wrong here.

Those solid rotors on the 300D/CD are junk, these 560 vented rotors at 300mm saved me a few times on the freeway and dodging big game animals. So if you value your life or car, bigger brakes can definately help. Same goes with good headlights.
