EBC Red and Yellow available for C63
Choices for aftermarket brake pads are very limited and I have heard conflicting information about applications for quite some time. This website is offering EBC Red and Yellow stuff for our calipers.

Has anyone already installed any aftermarket pads?

I believe on the w211 AMG forum, some have commented about Porterfield R4S pads recently becoming available for the w211 E63. Up until then, no aftermarket options existed. AFAIK, your pads and calipers are the same, so they should work for you guys too (please correct that if I'm wrong).
Can't comment on EBC offerings, although I've found some online brake suppliers' information can be quite suspect and, at times, grossly incorrect. YMMV.

i was talking to a mechanic that is specialized in lamborghinis. he told me the pads for the lambo lp640(6 piston steel not the 8 piston ceramic) would fit the c63.

The stock pads on the CLK63 BS are in my opinion very good for the track. I assume they are the same for the C63. If not, someone correct me please and in that case it would be a good solution.
A friend of mine who owns a red BS used the Porterfield RS4's and was not happy with them. We compared my car and his on the track and decided the stock pads are the way to go.
In regards to brake dust, I'll gladly take it, as the alternative is more costly. When there is friction, something will have to give first. It's either the pads or the rotors.

I would agree the stock BS pds are the best thing out there currently. The other thing I would do is change the brake fluid to Castrol SRF. I know Evosport now has titanium shims which will help with heat build up.
