Did everyone here know this or em I a Lil later. We have brembo calipers!

Brembo makes A LOT of OEM brakes. There is a significant difference from Brembo aftermarket and OEM however. My Toyota Tacoma also has Brembo brakes from the factory. If you look on the inside of the calipers, you can usually see the Brembo logo even on Toyota's and such.

They are Brembo, but nothing special or nothing to right home about. They certainly aren't these:

RM-6302

Actually, the compound front brakes of the Performance Package are very, very similar to those.

Guess what, Hyundai has Brembo on the Genesis Coupe.

And the V6 camaro (option) or standard on SS...

Probably, however aftermarket Brembo Monoblock are a whole different animal than anything you'll ever see from the factory, unless we are talking true super car brakes. I checked on prices for 6 piston racing monoblocks a few years ago for a VW GTI R32 and it was like $7K just for the front calipers. 8 piston calipers cost as much if not more than the whole PP option just for the fronts. LOL

Then again, the chances of ever needing racing monoblocks on a C63 are slim to none. The stockers even non-PP cars are sufficient for most of us.

Here's Brembo GT brakes for an SL. $4300.00 on Ebay for just the front and they are only 6 piston replacements.

Full blown 8 piston monoblock racing brakes are probably between $8.5K-$9K for just the fronts. Add another $5K for rear brakes.

You mean something like these 8 pistons Brembos? This guy was asking $10k for these but they were not for MBs.

Azn_C300

Paid around $6k for my full Brembo gran turismos. 6 piston front, 4 rears, drilled rotors. Including custom powdercoat and install.

i actually want to know exactly what are the differences between the calipers on our cars and the brembo monobloc you can get aftermarket as they look completely the same. the discs are different i know but the calipers look exactly the same to me. please enlighten me!

Rodz

According to Azn's outsourcing list, they should be brembo monoblocks. They certainly look about the same as his white Granturismos, asides the rotors of course.

Makes you wonder, you should be able to buy brembo 2pc rotors for both front and back instead of OEM PP rotors and evosport rears and who knows, they might even be cheaper.

DaGS1800

I don’t understand, for all that money you put into a regular C-class (because I am sure if you buy a 6k braking system you will do much more modding) wouldn’t you rather have a stock C63?? It seems pointless to put brakes like that on a C350 when the car doesn’t even perform fast enough to even need that braking system... Besides that point it just seems ironic...

Azn_C300

PM sent with response.

GMW

Oh yes, silly me..., I should have said: 'All I know is the standard, specially developed, AMG high-performance 4-wheel disc brakes that are internally ventilated and perforated, on the C63, are awesome!!!'
