Rear Brake rotors and pads
I'm looking at upgrading my OEM rear pads and rotors on my 2012 C350 4Matic coup that has the AMG wheel upgrade. Anyone have an opinion on a manufacturer that can provide superior stopping, wear, and quiet operation without breaking the bank?
Thanx

You can upgrade your Rear Rotors with OEM drilled set,,
you can go with "R129" S/A Rear Rotors/calipers/pads, or even bigger than that, depend to your choice, and compared to Front Rotors size..

- Centric slotted rotors with either EBC Yellowstuff (Aramid organic pads) or Redstuff (ceramic pads) or
- Powerstop slotted and drilled rotors with carbon fiber ceramic pads.
I am concerned about the cold braking issue - don’t know if it is all that bad.

I'm surprised the rear are solid , over here with AMG Sport pack on my S204 the rear are 300 x 22mm vented .
Front are cross drilled 295 x 28mm . First time I've owned a car with larger rear discs than front !
Grooved discs tend to be noisy but I've no experience of the EBC slotted .
I've just ordered new brakes ( OE Brembo ) primarily because of the evil OE brake pad dust and will order EBC Redstuff my pad of choice and will be the 3rd car I own with them fitted all around .
Over here Redstuff are ECE R90 , the regulation means the pad must fall within 15% of OE performance which means cold braking is the same as OE , but are very low dust , silent and when hot deliver even better braking .
OE pads are pure evil delivering hot particles of metal that embeds into the wheels paint .
Redstuff have no metal and some ceramic and any dust is easily washed away .

By solid I mean not drilled or slotted.
I guess I'm over thinking the issue. I might just stay with the Powerstop Z23 package which includes carbon fiber ceramic pads.
Thanx

c220 cdi AMG
Good night. Also I am studying the idea of putting on my w204 c220 cdi some Ebc Red Stuff tablets I think is a very good option at least when the braking temperature is already very high degrees .
My fear and the cold, but I've been seeing that it treats the same OEM
