I recently put new front Balo rotors and ATE pads on my 91SL. There were no fitment issues or problems with antilock sensors or squeels. Car stops about the same as before the replacements. Original rotors (115K miles) were worn close to limit of tolerance.

Zimmerman or ATE all the way. If you buy ATE and they are made in china, return them!

None of those are junk brands, I'd go with whichever is cheapest.

I'm on my second set of ATE slotted on the 190 and my first pair of slotted on the 300 and no issues with either. Running ATE pads as well IIRC. Stopping power on the 190 will put you through the windshield. The 300 a little less so.

well ended up with Zimemrman, I was a little reluctant to chance a pair of China ATE's since I have to do all mail order and returns are a hassle
thanks all

the best choice are MB rotors from the dealer or similar and then the OEM brands like Balo, Zimmerman and ATE.
Warped rotors are usually caused by the tire shops gunning the lug bolts super tight.
