Hi, cannot believe how much new discs are! The dealer and a merc specialist all say the discs are around £450 each and that pads would also need changing. Labour is on top so it will cost in excess of £2k for discs and pads all round.

Looking for a 3rd party part like EBC or Mintex but they dont manufacture anything for it, any ideas please?

Cheers

I have guessed your car as a 2006 in the link below:

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Mercedes+Benz_SL...

OEM is indeed aorund £480 per disc, but the ATE ones above are £80...!

Try the website yourself with the exact car model configured.....

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that, you have just saved me £1600! Any idea how the ATE discs compare?

I got EBC red stuff pads all round for my SLK55 recently, I cant remember how much they cost but I do remember they were considerably cheaper than what my local dealer quoted!

They feel really good to!

Hope this helps

ATE is good quality from what I have heard - but tbh I don't know Mercs that well so you will have to do your own chwckingsmile
