Brakes
So i have about 11k miles and my breaks are not the same anymore. Don't get me wrong they stop, but not as well. My buddy on an m3 drove my car and said your breaks are garbage, i followed by telling him "your car sounds like S*** and lacks speed"
. Nonetheless they are getting pretty bad and i was wondering what is the millage the c63 demands new breaks? Also is there any messages that come out on the cluster?
Also i am assuming i only need to change the fronts, should i put regular OEM or something more advanced, and if so what are the prices i am looking at.
Thanks

I can provide a referance although things will vary from car to car.
I'm putting Evosport rotors on all 4 wheels. My cars' original rotors are still technically safe to use for about another 5,000 miles with easy driving. My original front pads are only half nused up. My car has 25,000 miles, all original rotors and pads.
The rear rotors can go a bit longer, but the pads are done.
I agree that my brakes completely changed in their effectiveness and that's why I'm replacing them now.
My brakes even cause a moaning sound when I drive sometimes and when stopping. But, I know that if I slam on the breaks they can still slow me down fine... although nowhere near what they are like with less miles on them.
Hope this helps.

I have the Endless Brake Pads, stock rotors and Evosport Steel brake lines, and barely any noise, and great stopping. Granted I just got these last week, so I havent put 11k miles on them, but I really like what Im feeling so far!

The cluster will only tell you that your brakes are overheated or they need replacing meaning pads, as they have a wear sensor on them. The rotors have to be measured, on the edge of your rotors, are indented with the minimum thickness, per the OEM. Once the rotor have reached their minimum they need replacing, but at 11000 miles, they shouldn't be worn out already. They could be warped, that is a strong possibility. You can have been cut, or just replace them all together. I would visit and independent shop and have them measured to be sure.

I'm putting Evosport rotors on all four corners too. Stock rotors are
still good(only 7500 miles) but I'm doing it for other reasons.
The stock pads still have plenty of meat on them.
