So I need to have work done on my brakes at 60K kms on my 2012 P31 sedan. MB quoted me $6500 to swap pads/rotors which as you all know is ridiculous.

My questions are;

1. Which pads should I get? I don't care about brake dust, only brake performance.

2. Can I get my rotors machined? Does anyone know a good place in the GTA?

3. If I need new rotors are there good aftermarket alternatives to the 2 piece rotors?

Thanks!

You will be better off doing 2 piece rotor for about 1300 for the front pair and about the same for the rear. As for pads, I live the oem pads.

noodleman

get the Endless street pads.

Thanks guys! Lots of useful information.

vaclav, I will review my cache of forum info and possibly say more if worthwhile. I think...

One piece fronts fit, but are ?10 lbs heavier at 1/3 the cost.

Rotor turning is not advisable on these cars IMO due to grooves and that there is not a lot of usable material on the rotors.

Reusing the aluminum hat (centers) was possible on rotors from a vendor who has now gone out of business, I believe.

I am at 25K miles and have estimated about .050" material left on front, and this on daily driving by wife up and down a 2000 ft mountain. No racing

I can get you endless pads and 2 piece rotors or cheaper OEM style rotors also. I'll shoot you a PM!

best pads for our cars, if you want a performance pad, is Pagid RS19's, same pads as Porsche GT3. my shop has an extra set if you are interested.

Girodisc 2 Piece Rotors paired with Girodisc S/S (Street/track) pads. Have them on my car and they are insane ! We weighed front rotors were almost 13 pounds lighter EACH and the rears 6.7 pounds lighter each ! Your talking about almost 40 pounds of unsprung and rotational mass its a night and day difference the car handles and stops much better with a small bump in acceleration. Also the pads are designed for the rotor you can gt their Magicpad which is ceramic low dusting/low noise but they wont grab and hold like the S/S pads.

FYI Girodisc used to make the EVO1 2 piece rotors for Evosport. Evosport just re branded them

Hey guys. Sorry..But I want to ask a question here. I see there are shop that sell NANO COATED ROTORS. I see they are pretty much like painted or coated. are they any good? what difference do they make?

VividRacing

The Pagids are SUPER nice and last a long time however they are $$$$ but it's worth it in the long run

100%

James@ACG

1.) If performance is your main objective, then Endless Mx72's or ME20 (track pad that can be driven on Street), second option would be the porterfield R4-S pads.

2.) Sadly no you cannot have your rotors machined

3.) GiroDisc is the way to go, we have both the slotted only and slotted with Cross drills in stock... slotted only would be my suggestion as performance is your main factory and the slotted only is less prone to crack

I just got porterfield R4-S pads after doing some research.

intence

can you pm me price for slotted f/r rotors for 09 c63 non pp?


i got the porterfields too but they brake dust as bad as stock pads...

GRP

Having just got a price on the Endless Mx72 pads which was $$$ I would hate to think what the Pagids cost.

Porterfield RS4 seems to get a good wrap for performance and are "modestly" priced. If you want cheaper pads there EBC red or step up to yellow - have used reds on other vehicles and they were OK but I would not use them on the C63.

from another forum member's rec, I went with parts.com or genuinemercedesparts.com (can't remember). i got stock pads for pretty cheap and fast, and I recall they had oem two piece rotors for pretty cheap too.

on a side note, your rotors should last a long time. of course, don't go by what the dealer tells you. they told me I needed new ones back at 30k miles, been using them ever since and I have 45k now with still more life left on them. best way to be sure is to measure them.

We just posted up a super deal package for a complete car set two piece rotors including our ET performance street pads for $1,530
