Your ETs will be better with that lighter wallet.
They are big Brembos anyway. Change pads if you want. But you aren't going to stop any better with Brembo stickers -vs- AMG.
So, paint them red and put on Brembo stickers. No one will tell.

The stock calipers are made by Brembo. Very good brakes as OEM equipment. If you want the best, Brembo GT-R monobloc forged calipers. Besides being lighter, they feature an integral bridge for maximum stiffness and different pad shape with a greater surface area. If you take the complete set, the rear brakes are significantly bigger than the stockers. Really great brakes! Unless you're a road course junky, complete overkill for the street.

Brembo GT-R's are the best of the best next to carbon ceramic. Dunno if its worth the $15,000 price tag.

Just change the fluid more often and see if you can find improved airflow vents to the calipers. If you track it turn the ESP off or will cause the brakes to over heats.
