David, I'll post some pictures as soon as I get the brakes on.

Neil, my brake upgrade was going to be too save unsprung weight and spend less money on brake pad and rotor replacement. However, that does not seem to be possible. One or the other can be done, not both at the same time.
So, now my upgrade is just cosmetic -- I want cross-drilled rotors -- and possibly, if the guy gets me carbon fiber brake pads, due to their longevity I will save a little on replacement costs.

My guy is not as good as he implied. The rotors he got are simply the stock AMG rotors made for my car that someone has cross drilled and chamfered. My guy claims that this was done by AMG for the European models -- I'm not sure of that though, and don't trust him too much. The AMG_Owners_Club.com in Europe was not able to tell me if AMG made these cross-drilled rotors.
