You say your '02 C230 needs rotors but you don't say at what mileage. I just replaced the pads on my '01 C320 which were all down to the thickness of a 25c piece at 44000 miles. The warning light was on, of course. The rotors did not need replacement. Nowhere near, in fact, and I don't make any particular attempt to conserve the brakes.

Rear pad replacement takes about five minutes per side once the wheels are off. Fronts a few minutes longer. Pads and sensors totalled about $120. Pagid.

I was surprised to see that the front calipers are made by Lucas.
