“Sport Brake” vs “Standard brake”
Good day all,
About to pull the trigger on a very nice 2019 C300 wagon. It comes with the Sport Package which comes with several Bodykit pieces along with a “sport brake” system. Does anyone know if it’s actually “bigger” brakes or just the standard brakes with “Mercedes Benz” inscribed on the calipers?
Thanks!

C300 Wagon
I don't know how many pistons they have. Does anyone have any pictures of a sport package C300 caliper? I haven't been under my car yet or have had the front wheels off yet.
Would be nice to have some more wagons on the forum!!!

Upgraded brakes were std on the C400. With the C450 and C43 they fancified 'em a litlle bit, but otherwise they are the same. They are very fine brakes. C63 gets even bigger discs and 6 pot front calipers I think. Then C63s gets slightly larger fronts and has optional carbon ceramics as the top shelf brake upgrade.

As far as I know they're the same siwe, but the difference I believe is that the rear discs are ventilated/perforated, I wouldn't really care about brake performance that much tho, if you are somehow not happy with their performance upgrade the pads once they run out

The C63 is a bit heavier and makes good use of the 6 pots. The C400/450/43 has a great braking system but you can wring out a little more performance with upgraded pads. The bonus is that mild upgrades are similarly priced or only slightly more than OEM.

C300 Wagon
Yes...with the added weight and high top speed I can see why the C63 has the big front brakes.
I am supper happy with the stock brakes on my C300 wagon. They are nice and big and cross drilled, no complaints
