for those who bought Evosport AMG BRAKES

What is included in the Evosport AMG brake pkg for $595?



Has anyone gotten a BRABUS/CARLSSON brake upgrade?
( i don't know if they exist but i thought i would ask)
What was the price? where were the best deals on BRABUS/CARLSSON brakes if available?

Re: for those who bought Evosport AMG BRAKES

13.6" drilled rotors, 4-piston calipers and brake pads are included... i believe it's $695 at evosport now...

don't even consider BRABUS/Carlsson... $$$$$

my kit came with rotors, calipers, disc brake pads, and pad sensor wires. FRONT ONLY. I got it at the group buy a while back for around 500 bucks but seems like prices have gone up.

I think the difference is about 500USD. Call your local dealer, and find out.

I was hoping the prices would come down with the addition of the same brakes on the Sport Sedans in the US now, that don't say AMG on them but are the same calipers and rotors. Check with the dealer on prices for the brakes off the 2004 C230K Sedan.

more than 500 ?

The last time I checked at the dealers before going with Evosport it was about 1300 quoted from my dealership. They kept insisting that it might not work but if I wanted the parts they'd have to order it, since they were out of stock.

i wouldnt even consider brabus or carlsson brakes!! they are way too expensive for the same thing. just go for brembos! or the AMG brakes are good too if you dont wanna spend too much.

You shouldn't need spacers, BUT; it really depends on the design of your wheel. If the back face of your wheel is already close to your caliper, like 1/2 inch or less; then I'd say it may not clear. THEN you'd need spacers!

We should get another group buy going on these.

I missed the last one. I bought my C after the group buy was over. $695 is a bit much for a front brake upgrade on a $30K sedan. $500 will be much more palatable to my wife
