Sport Brake system

A brief search did not return any real results so I'm wondering how you're all identifying whether or not your cars have the Sport Braking System (U29 or 944) as seen below.

Okay, so on the C450/C43/C63 and 63s, they all have Sport Brakes. I also believe the C400 also has sport brakes. What they are saying is that Sport Brakes are the cars which do not have front removable calipers when it comes to changing the brake pads.

Ohhhhhh. Should’ve known that but sometimes ECS Tuning warnings are tricky. Thanks for clarifying.

There's only one braking system for the C43, so not sure what they are referring to. The carbon ceramic brakes are only available for the C63S. C63 and C63S have larger 6-piston calipers. I'm guessing that's what they are referring to. The pad sizes are different between 4 and 6 piston calipers.
