Front Rotor and Brake recommendation for 2014 CLS63

Need some help if possible.

I have a 2014 CLS63 S and need front brakes and Rotor’s.

I have read through the posts and the Racing Brake seems to be a good set up.

Can I hear from the gallery with a yea or nay on this one and any other options that you have had personal experience with.

Rotors are not ceramic.

Appreciate your help!

Hi, curious as to why you just would not replace with OEM...probably the same price it appears? Just asking? Also, I found these on e-bay...super cheap. May be an easy option. Just get brake pads that are not that expensive and you saved a ton!

Well, OEM from what I can tell are about 10 lbs per Rotor heavier and the RB set up is about $800 less expensive to install, (Labor and Materials/Rotors and pads) and hopefully will perform better.
Not sure what you are looking at on Ebay? I feel a little uneasy buying from Ebay anything that is much cheaper than what it should normally cost......Just me.
I also needed Rotors and pads.

Actually, after rethinking the price diff, it comes out to about $1200. $3000 OEM VS $1800 for the RB set up Materials and Labor.
So, just made sense to move off the OEM parts in this particular situation.
