    there are actually three specs for three different ML's:
    11.4mm, 19.4mm, 23.4mm. what's more important is if there
    is an sharp edge lip on the outside edge of the rotor. no
    matter what thickness the rotor, if you install new pads
    on an old rotor with an edge lip, you are gonna have awful
    brake noise. suggest installing either Textar or Pagid
    brand pads and ATE or Brembo rotors; these companies make
    brakes for MB. turning or resurfacing rotors is not advised
    under any circumstance, per MB.
