Yes, DIY vid or write up with pics, pretty please

question, i'm on getmercedesparts.com and why are the AMG performance package front brakes cheaper than W/O the PP?

320 vs 298? im confused.

1500$ for service B??!! i paid 350 for mine!

It might have been b2. It was the major 60,000 km one. Plus I have p31 and the LSD. Tran fluid and the lot. And $1200 including 13 % tax

Good for you man!!!

Do you even know the thickness of the rotors new or after 50K of hard city driving?

Thanks for sharing what your indy tells you about a 1 piece rotor.

I seen with my own eyes and measured with my own hands the thickness of the rotors (with calipers) and yes I have TONS of meat left on them. I have used 1mm of wear with 50K km of hard city driving.

So ya, I can almost guarantee the guys rotors are fine unless he's been doing some serious track events. I never said they would last 150K km. I simply said he doesn't need new ones yet. If you want to **** away cash on rotors by all means go hard

If I was buying 127 $ rotors like yours I wouldn't really care either, but when the 2 piece OEM are 1200+ each I think we should be a bit more efficient with them..

For you more resourceful canucks Canadian Tire's ATE rotors work just fine ... very good quality ... just paid $80 for a set of rears and they are quite nice.
I run these on all my vehicles and no warpage. AND they stayed on sale this week!! Enjoy

PS - I run a 2009 c350 and a 93' 600sl

They're called stealerships for a reason. I don't know why you don't just do them yourself... it's ridiculously easy. I've NEVER payed someone to do my brakes.

Irrelevant and pointless question. All that matters to me is that after about 70K kms, my fronts measured 33.7 mm so they were pretty close to the wear limit. Unless you're telling me they have a significantly different alloy in the 2-pc rotors that magically allows them to last double the mileage to justify them being 5x the cost of my pedestrian 1-PC rotors. Give me a break.

And for the record, if you REALLY wanted everyone to save a few bucks, slap on some of these lowly $127 1-PC replacements - they fit all C63s the same. At this price, it almost seems foolish to pay for 2-PC rotors.

^^ brake wear varies from car to car depending on ppl driving habits. I think the point here is to check the wear ourselves rather than believing what the dealer said.

That's a good figure for me to keep in mind. Of course, anything that has to do with cars are much cheaper for us here in the US. See what people are paying around the world and I feel so fortunate to be a car lover in the USA.

Exactly. Get a good quality micrometer, ie Mitutoyo or Starrett; not very expensive on ebay. Get the specs from the dealer and measure them yourself.

Your dealer defiantly qualifies as a "stealership"

I had my sister inlaw who works at a dealer here in Montreal check the prices for a '10 C63 P31 which is also what I own...

All prices are Canadian

Retail:
Front disc $1308.00
Front pads $417.60
Rear disc $213.20
Rear pads $229.10
Total $3689.1 + tax

Her/my price:
Front disc $851
Front pads $271.5
Rear disc $138.6
Rear pads $148.95
Total $2399.65 + tax

Now to check state side which I'm sure will be cheaper but you'll have to pay shipping, duty & taxes as well so...

From them above, US$
Front disc $787.50
Front pads $223.50
Rear disc $201.00
Rear pads $123.75
Total $2324.25

I guess it pays to have a relative work at an MB dealer

Tack on MB "premium CIROC... only an AMG technician can work on your car" labor and you're not that far off the original quote

Like I said before, the wear limit is stamped on the outer edge.

Way to be Peter shades! But first ya gotta take the fear out of the non DIY'ers

I think I'm going to make a video for the boards anyway. Just instructional of course. My brakes are fine on my car, but I think a video of step by step instructions would show everyone how easy it really is. More money for mods

^^ great to see a dedicated member like you shades! Props for helping others.

Ordered from the USA. Rotors, pads and sensors. 2500 delivered. I still need to pick them up. There is a duty charge. Should be able to get everything done under $3000!

FBTO, u should've bought jakio 2pcs Evosport rotors for 1400$ all corners w/pads... And still have money left for the install.

I just called Evosport and that's not true. Maybe try $2400 w/o pads for the C63

He quoted me $2800 for my CL (rotor + pads) with 'free' shipping..

Huh? I said to buy member jakio's set from Montreal. Not new from evosport.

I'm sorry lol. I didn't see the 'jakio'. I called them right away because it was good to be true haha

What a great gesture....well done.....good things will definitely come your way.
Cheers, Pickles.
