I'm guessing these are gonna be a fortune.......are there good after market jobbies available and if so where from?

04 SL55 with the F1 pack (Were the brakes bigger/different to std?)

They look expensive. I'm getting pulsating pedal when braking. There doesn't seem to be a pad mark on the disc so I reckon they're warped.

If they are not worn to much then get them professionally skimmed and then fit some decent pads. Pulsing will be pad material buildup on the disk surface, warped disks are rare after looking into this topic whilst doing the V Max events. Cheap pads are terrible for build up but people hate paying a lot for pads for some reason?

Aren't they ceramic on these?

If so they are a different ball game in terms of price. I wouldn't assume the worst with them and maybe a Merc dealer or AMG specialist could diagnose the issue. Remember these cars have SBC which doesn't use a servo.

If you want a price them email sales@alloywheelsdirect.net and give them your vin number.
