What is the difference between the Brembos you bought over the AMG big brake kit? Brand only or more pistons?

_AMG_

Sick brakes. Are you planing on making your C63 a dedicated track car?
At around $17,000, it better be worth it.

Roswell

^^ Are you serious? 17 000$ for the brembos bbk? Wow...

CRAZY

It's for the coupe I'm building. They are billit. light weight. vented piston area, made for the track and street. I guess you can check on the brembo website for exact specs

_AMG_

Yup,
Brembo GT-R front kit = $8,794
Brembo GT-R rear kit = $7,894

Total = $16,688 (not including tax)

The only way i would ever consider buying these brakes would be if i had a TRUE dedicated track car. Other then that, i see no point.

Roswell

Wow... considering some of us got the C63 for high 40's low 50's with the trunk money... theses brakes are worth 1 third of the car... unbelievable!! ... hehehe!

The stock brakes on the C63 are sufficient enough. I spent 8k on my Rotora BBK, and i regret it till this day.

U can't really compare Rotora with Brembo though ... big difference in performance.

However spending 16k for brakes on a C63 is just insane. Shouldn't you be able to get some ceremic brakes for around that kinda of money or maybe a bit more.

Even if I had money like that , I would shoot myself before I'd ever buy a $17,000 brake kit

the guy is turning his sedan into a coupe.....im not sure anything is unbelievable or insane after that
im just excited to see what shes gonna look like completed

CSKAMOSCOW

0o didn't know that , well if he's going all out then cool , I thought it was a stock car with 17k brake kit

I just hope it comes out before the factory c63 coupe.

i think the GTR is more to the race use.

it will be not too comfortable to use on road, specially when it is cold.

but great kits thought, and probably the best brake kits money can buy now.

Well, it would of made a good down payment on a real gt-r. Live and let live, if it makes you happy go for it, life is too short to live in someone else's footstep. My wife is still confused the fact that my sl with 493 hp just isnt enough

Worth the wait

Most appropriate screen name.....EVER!

Im not comparing Rotora to Brembo.
I said, i spent $8,000 on my Rotora BBK And i regret it till this day.

For 17k im sure they are the best brakes you can get next to Carbon ceramic.

Girard@ACGautomotive

The Porsche owners with CCM brake rotors swap them out to regular steel rotors/Big Brake Kits if they race the car. Carbon rotors are nice because of the weight savings but they tend to crack once the dirt and debris gets in. that happens all the time when you track the car and the hobby of swapping out your carbon rotors can get a little expensive.

Going from Porsche CCM kit to the new Brembo GT Racing, you are practically not adding any extra weight but the overall braking balance and feel is miles better. There is also absolutely no fade with the GT or a GT Racing kits even when used for pro racing.
