I'll go on a limb and assume that no one has done this..........LOL

i don't see why not...but why? no real world performance gains and parts are more expensive to maintain/replace

hyperion667

yeah.....but why is right!

modding problems man.....lol
nothing better to do......
for fun.....

I saw on C63 forum that one C63 owner from Europe upgraded his brakes to CC. So it shouldn't be any problem to do on CLS63.

the car is very heavy and if you're going to do even one or two track days i would agree that the upgrade is worth your money. warped rotors can get expensive. 1,000 a piece i'm assuming for each rotor

I am having custom pads made to increase the stopping power of the standard PP brakes and will be testing them at Willow on the 9th. Told they will stop on a dime but will chew up the rotors. F-it.... Also installing a Renntech Intercooler....

Its definitely doable, but its gonna cost an arm and a leg.

I looked into this, and there are two parts to it. Cost: to go fully OEM, parts run almost $15k (not including labor). Functionality: I spoke with an AMG guy (not a brake engineer, but a career AMG man that was and is involved in many production decisions) at the AMG academy, and he said that many different systems operate with specific normal / CC brake programming. He strongly advised against the upgrade because of this (even after we debated ECU reflashes, etc.).

If you are on the verge of wanted to install factory ceramics, why not upgrade to the Brembo GT Kit. 16 inch front rotors, monoblock 6 piston calipers. Rear 15 inch rotrors, 4 piston calipers. Race pads available and easy rotor replacements should you ever need them.

Think this is a better option plus only $7500 for the full kit.

It will be nice when some pad options are available that work on our brakes.

Damn, 17k on brakes is no joke.

If you're looking for better brakes go with Brembo GT

yeah, and the front rotors are the only ones that are the same cost.......why do they cost different amounts per side??

anyone?
