Hello forum member, this is gonna be my first ever post pertaining to my 2011 c300.

The car only has 45,000ish km on and the brake light came on. I am pretty good with DIYs and I am thinking to do the brake job myself.

I came across searching for some pads and found that somewhere it says the Canadian c300 model has the c350 rotors and pads. So I wanted to post this tread just to have some clarification to this. When it comes to buying new pads and rotors, am I gonna be choosing c350 or c300 configuration?Also, how many brake sensors would I need for front and rear?

Thanks in advance.

To search correctly in EPC you would have to post the VIN!!

The Canadian C300 comes with C350 front brakes (larger rotor), but the rear brakes are the same as the US C300 (non-vented discs). Here's the part numbers:

Front Rotor (need 2) 0004211112
Front Pads (in pairs) 0054201320
Rear Rotor (need 2) 2044231512
Rear Pads (in pairs) 0054204220

ECS Tuning or Autohauz AZ will have what you need.

I just did the brakes on my C300 4MAtic Sport and they are the C350 pads. I ordered a pair on line and compared to oem at the dealer. I found the best deal at rockauto.com for akebono pads and have really noticed the lack of dust. The oems are horrible for dust so yourself a favor and get the aks. There's a really good video on youtube and its pretty easy to do. Just make sure you support your pads and clean and grease the pins. A little PM goes a long way. I did mine and after about an hour I was crushing celebratory beers.
