The link to the rotor package is up:

http://www.racingbrake.com/RB-CCM-Pa.../mb-crk-07.htm

Currently we have 5 sets CCM discs on order with ST, so the order will be shipped on first come first serve basis.

Lowest price & easy installation guarantee - Price is even lower than OE CCB but w/o having to swap axle/hub etc. to install retrofit parts.

Have you tested the kit using OEM pads? Aftermarket pads? Results?

For 12k I don't see the need; I don't keep the car long enough and wont track it. I applaud what you have done though and I have no doubt you will have a few that will upgrade with your option. Ill just do the pad ugrades.

We tested our XT910 compound on CCM rotors for street driving with excellent result.

For track applications, we have just tested our sintered pads in GT-R and Corvette communities with success. Production in progress shipping in September.

My parts guy at Mercedes look up all parts need it to retrofit them.
This is not an official list from Mercedes, and my parts guy also told me that the ABS unit is also different and might need to be code to the car and that might be a problem.
Also the cost of the parts without labor is about 19K.
  • This part list only adds up to $20,377 before installation.
  • The installation requires different hub carriers than original which will deviate from OE brake set up.
  • See what Mercedes parts guy said above -The conversion may be problematic.
  • Retrofit project can get more involved and cost much more that it appears, you may even have to face uncertainties whether you should quit and cut the loss, or continue to finish the job with unexpected cost etc.

Here is an example of that a C63 owner has gone through in retrofitting his brake to E63 CCB:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...version-6.html

In comparison, RB/CCM rotors keep your OE calipers, they are directly interchangeable with stock iron rotors (as a spare set). Our rotors are guaranteed 100% fitment and our rotors are much more durable than Mb's CCB.

Th installation is so easy (Requires no bleeding), you can DIY or have an auto shop installed them for about $200-$300 - much better than dealing w/MB dealers I think, and our knowledge tech staff can provide tech support when needed.

Racingbrake is a 30 years brake company specialized in CCM brakes, and we "design & build the rotors" to fit your OE spindle & calipers, than for you to alter your spindle/hub to fit other MB models' CCM rotors.

We also carry complete brake accessories - pads, brake fluid, brake lines in addition to rotors to ensure our full after service for your CCM brake.





Search around, do your math, and decide who has the best deal for your CCM brakes.

Doing the RacingBrake CCB conversion makes so much more sense. You keep the factory calipers and brackets stock and you just swap over the rotors.

It may seem expensive until you do the math, but you have to remember that CCB rotors last 4-5x more than stock so over the long run you actually save money compared to iron rotors... Especially if you track a lot. Also the rotors RacingBrake use are designed for heavy track duty where as most OEM CCB are not truly designed for that kind of abuse.

I will definitely be grabbing a set for my next AMG as nothing improves the overall feel and handling characteristics better than rotating mass weight reduction. It is the most underrated performance modification and it is the ONLY modification that improves all areas of the car's performance: acceleration, braking, handling, steering feedback, improved ride quality, increased fuel efficiency

Well stated for the benefit of CCM rotors.

Additionally, realize that purchasing RB/CCM rotors means you got extra spare set of rotors that's completely swappable with OE rotors (100% bolt on installation) while retain OE set up in caliper and pads to keep your maintenance cost low than OE.

Another benefit you can't possibly get from OE's CCB (assume available) or retrofitting to other models' CCB.

Pre-order special price is in effect which will end soon after we start shipping them.

PM for introductory discount pricing...

Front and rear CCM rotors are duly assembled. The kit will also come with SS brake lines and OE CCM brake pads.

An easy swap to OE iron rotors and save tons of unsprung weight to vastly improve your driving quality & literally dust free wheels, while keep your OE iron brakes as a spare.

Front rotor: 13.9 lbs (vs. OE's 31 lbs) Saves 17.1 lbs/rotor




Rear rotor: 9.2 lbs (vs. OE's 23 lbs) Saves 13.8 lbs/rotor





Total weight saving for four corners: 61.8 lbs

Just want to add some benefit of this conversion kit vs. CCB kit comes from OE:

These are much stronger and durable rotors than OE.

Rotors fit under 19" wheels which means lower maintenance cost on tire replacement.

The replacement brake pads are also cheaper than OE CCM pads.

These RB CCM rotor rings are re-furbishable at a cost lower than iron rotor ring replacement, although you probably don't need that service if for street driving.

Rotors are fully interchangeable with stock iron rotors, so you can swap them as you see need unlike OE CCB you are stuck with CCM rotors set up.

Full after-service by RacingBrake by our knowledgeable stuff, and CCM components inventory in Southern California with 30 years in brake business.

RB CCB rotor kits are shipping - Better than OE CCB, because our rotors are fully interchangeable with iron brakes, and you can run them at lower maintenance cost.

CCM discs are in stock for prompt shipment, no deposit is required. Get your CCM brake installed in time for Spring.

Beautiful what you have created. But I would have to agree that the price is still too high.

PM sent, and yes C63 S has the same brake as GT S for 2015+ models and our CCB not only can last longer than OE but are made to use under OE calipers (for iron rotors), so they are fully interchangeable, unlike OE CCB options.

RacingBrake not only is the brake company offers a "complete" CCB upgrade options for Mercedes, but also for other car makes, Porsche, Ferrari, Mustang GT350, Camaro ZL1, Nissan GTR, Viper, Corvette, Challenger SRT8, BMW M3/M4, Tesla just about any high end models or heavily track vehicles to enhance the overall braking performance.

All discs are in-stock so your order is ready to build and ship, all available applications are on our web store for your review and consideration - No need to PM/email back and forth, no wait in months for your order.

We also carry a complete brake pad options with professional advice of what pads to use (street, track or racing).

There are more choice on iron brakes option, but when it comes to CCM brakes clearly RB is the best and only one company with this capability, expertise and resources that we are committed to.

Wondering if Corvette C7 Z06/Z07 CCM rotors can be made to fit the AMG GT-S, as they can be had for $1275 each with hats and hardware from AMZ and they are made by Brembo in Italy.

Fronts are 36 mm thick just like the OEM AMG rotors, and 394 mm in diameter.

Rears are 32 mm thick and 390 mm in diameter.

I like your thinking... this might actually make it worth doing.
