Photos :: evosport 2-Piece Brake Rotors (Front & Rear) :: 2010 C63
This is one of my favorite mods to date. Not only do these rotors look fantastic and improve braking performance and cooling, they are significantly lighter than the stock rotors. Because they are so lightweight, you can really feel a difference in the suspension feel, steering feel and acceleration. We're talking close to 40-lbs of combined unsprung weight savings and most of it is from the front. It feels like the whole car is lighter now.
These measure 14.2" (360mm) for the front and 13.0" (330mm) for the rear. They are are direct replacements for your OEM/stock rotors and they are designed to be used with the OEM AMG brake calipers.
evosport also made sure that each rotor vents and cools the correct way. The OEM rotors don't do this because they use the same part for either side.
To make installation simple, each hat (the black aluminum center) was etched with a directional rotation arrow and the letters FL, FR, RL or RR so you know where each one goes.
More info on the rotors here -> https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...otors-c63.html
I should mention that Simon @ evosport was great to work with. He was quick to respond to all of my random PMs, phone calls and emails . . . I like to ask a lot of questions. Thank you, Simon.
Anyhow, on to my photos!

40lb's just on rotors.. Wow.
What exactly can they shave off that makes it weigh so much less but be that much better? Since I'm no engineer, these things always make my head spin!
Besides all the technical mumbo-jumbo.. they look great.

Excellent review.... superlubricity, your posts are always very detailed and very informative, thanks for the effort you put in Now, you didn't happen to weight the rear rotors as well, did you?

You have been busy. New rear tires and rotors all around. Excellent job.
Great pics and loaded with great information. You do detail to a "T".
Thanks again!

No problem.
Hah, I'll be back to the dyno soon with one more power mod to test. I'm curious as to where my new baseline will be as the rotors, tires and LSD will all impact driveline loss.
