AMG C63
Anybody notice the new Blacks Brakes?

anyone else notice the new Black series SL 65 brakes are TINY?
the front ones are half the size of our brakes on the C63.
I cant believe how small they are unless the ceramic composites
are so good that they can be as small as a Zipped up Honda Civics brake upgrade or they are too small for that much performance.

Pics in your thread would help. That's how web boards work. Since browsing over to other sites is so easy I'm surprised that you didn't do that yourself and post pics.

I wasnt trying to be a smart-a$$ I know of people who dont know about the website. I also know of people that dont know about the AMG private message board.
The New Black Series is all over the place and I have seen it a thousand times. I saw no reason to post it since the Black Series is mostly pictured in the side shot showing the small front rotors. I figured everyone who owns an AMG has seen it or researched it.
Bad assumption on my part.
I dont like reposting stuff thats easily seen, waste of BW.

The

SL BS uses the same 6piston calipers like the c63 but has a little bigger disk.

390x36 mm discs =SL65 BS. FRONT

360x36 mm discs= C63 .FRONT

The wheels being 19 front and 20 rear also will tend to overshadow the disc brakes to some degree.
