yup u can choose either change the c63 hub to non amg 204 but tht will cost more on part,beside tht using tht aftermarket caliper bracket wont effected anything as you know taiwan have been produced a lot of aftermarket brake kit for sports car interms of quality should be reach international standard,just like you the carbon fiber lip most of them produce from taiwan.

I don't think that taiwanese no-name custom brackets have passed any certification or any safety test, neither they are approved for use. Small variations to the offsets and mounting points can be dangerous. Even with the best designed brackets, it is almost impossible to reach the exact mounting points and dimensions of the original mounted brake positions. Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I might be biased because I have already retrofitted my C63 amg BBK with all original MB parts to my w204. However my opinion is that if someone has already spent a lot of money for original c63 BBK amg brakes it is a shame to use cheap aftermarket taiwanese no-name brackets.

C63 brake upgrade

What is needed; the front hub and spindles or just the hub for the C63 brake upgrade? I purchased the OEM rotor disc & calipers...just need someone to put them on. Conversion Bracket or $$$ for hubs?
