'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.

-Will

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.
See discussion in this thread:

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

RB Weight Savings: 12 lbs. vs. OE One-piece 5 lbs. vs. OE Two-piece

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