<<After all, if I'm going 150 next to a SL63,...>>
In your C300?
<<Brembo sport pads will generate less dust than what you have now...>>
And this data comes from?

Brembos
No hate, I am just curious to know why everyone would do this cuz I know this kit is a lot of money I have the Gran Turismo Kit on my M3 cant complain. Also its is going ot be a lot harder to put any kind of wheels one the car already with this weird *** offset the C's have...

The current brake pressure problem is rear bias. We need to resolve it first. I looks like front brake pressure is not there at all, and I don't see any dust on front wheels at all.
Although manual indirectly mentioned that it's rear bias, it needs to increase rear disc instead.
With brembo, it'll be moot point for weak brake pressure. It's just like a weak arm holding a 45.
Wondering why C63 master cylinder is different from non-AMG? Need to think it a little bit before upgrade to bbk.

Was just an example. As stated, I'm doing it for aesthetics purposes and not performance purposes, but you're smart enough to understand what I was getting at. Although you might not be able to accelerate as fast, you can still hit high speeds regardless of HP and having the emergency stopping power if needed is all fine and good.
The FM1000 pads Brembo developed were designed specifically for lower dust and noise, while maintaining high friction coefficient. Your stock metallic pads aren't. And if you want to go away from the FM1000 pads, you can get ceramic pads for your Brembo setup. As of now, there are no ceramic pads for your stocks, unless you want to use generic universal pads. Speak to anyone who's upgraded, they have nothing bad to say about it and do all report less brake dust.

And don't get me started on the offsets on the C. I hate how I can't get a deeper lip than what I have now

X3 and 2012 C coming soon
I wouldn't mind just installing C350 front caliper brackets and rotors, Axxis pads, rear crossdrilled rotors and stainless brake lines. The Brembos would look good though.

the C63 brembo setup will probably be around $4500 like the ones for W203 and people don't have issue with master cylinder not able to handle the brakes.

love the argument of "the car's not that fast to need brembo"

with that said, I love my Brembo setup on my 32 because the way I drive it. BUT I don't feel the need for BBK on the w204 because the different way I drive it. probably just get stainless lines and call it a day on the 204.
