I have no idea, but have read that the SLR ceramic rotors are pretty expensive! I don't know what the pads are made of, sorry

Brake Repair Cost
I remember hearing that number at the AMG Challenge in May.
It was one of the questions that was asked.
Rob Allan AMG Product Manager.
Pads and Rotors with Labor. $ 11K US.

That's about right. If you're an SLR owner on a budget, you can substitute R230 parts and save about $15k but you'll loose a lot of braking performance.
If you do-it-yourself, you can even save another couple of thousand more too!

You're so right!! You should easily pay the $20K or $11K and also pick up something at the gift shop too!

W203 slightly modified
A199 420 04 72 BRAKE DISC $6063 Euro each x 2
The cost seems to be in the rotors not the pads or the labour.
There are also 19" brakes which are even more expensive.

Approximately $12,000 for the front rotors, $2000 for the pads, + whatever the labor is (I think it's around 5 hours). That's just for the fronts.
Not sure about the rears but I'm sure they're only slightly cheaper. You're probably looking at around $30-40,000 for pads & rotors all the way around.

My understanding is that cost is around $30K USD -- but I don't know anyone who has had to have the whole shebang done yet - don't know if anyone will ever have to have all four rotors and pads) done at one time....

Yeah, they are carbon ceramic discs made by brembo exclusively for the SLR...
Be happy - a brake change for the Enzo is $25K per axle.
And you guys thought the brembo kits we sell were expensive

While I was having my SLK 350 serviced today, I was looking at a customer's SLR in the dealer's shop area. The service writer told me that the car was getting new brakes installed. He said that the entire job including new rotors
($10,000 each) will cost the owner around $43,000. I'm glad I have an SLK.
