It's time for rotors, and since I'm going hot-lapping here soon (and plan to do so a bit more this year) I want to buy higher-performance stuff, if there is something better than OE. Let me make this clear: I am not going to replace the brakes, I just want to optimize things. I currently have the '92 SL Iron rotor setup with the 12" front rotors (internally vented) and have been thrilled with their performance. The MBZ OE front rotors are made by Brembo, as a matter of fact. I'm running the MBZ-recommended '93-'94 500E/E500 OE pads now(they have awesome shims that quiet early '92 brakes like mine-less material, but not a sound) and they've been great through 2 sets of pads. But since this car is now a third car, I can better equip it for occasional track stuff.

I want to keep it simple; I have an extra brand-new set of OE pads that I plan to cook at Pocono Raceway, and plan only to replace rotors. I'm inclined to go with the PowerDisks...does anyone know where the cheapest place to buy them is?

Does anyone have any other viable rotor recommendations/sources?

Thanks in advance, all.
