'13 CLS63 Replacement Brakes??
Greetings,
I have a 2013 CLS63 AMG. The breaks are squeaking immensely and the rotors seem to be deteriorating. My local mechanic, whom I trust, quoted approx. $6K for the job using OEM parts.
That is quite obviously too high, my goodness.
Is anyone able to suggest a cheaper replacement option without losing the beautiful appearance of AMG rotors and calipers? Perhaps a similar sports brand?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Does it matter if you have the P30 package? I believe they had bigger brakes?
Thanks RB!

RB 2 pc rotors can fit and are compatible with all C63 (std C63, P30, or P31) regardless they are 1 pc, 1.5 pc or 2 pc construction.

Link to the front replacement and see what weight you can save per rotor.

The link you shared of your website is that the same exact front setup as seen here?
