didnt exactly answer my question but thanks anyway...

judging by the front rotors probably being heavier than the rears, id guess maybe about 45 lbs total weight savings...

 

You asked if AMG Steel brakes are heavier than Carbon Ceramic Brakes didn't you?

Please refine...

 

no i didn't ask that. maybe read my post again.

i asked what the weight saving was, in lbs.

now yes, im able to convert kgs to lbs, but in addition, you only gave weights for the front calipers.

i asked what the total weight savings would be. not just for the front.

 

2x AMG Steel front discs - 2x 13,8 kg
2x AMG Steel rear discs - 2x 10,95 kg
2x AMG Steel front calipers - 2x 5,78 kg
2x AMG Steel rear calipers - 2x 2,75 kg

AMG Steel Total: 146.739 lbs

2x AMG CC front discs - 2x 7,94 kg
2x AMG CC rear discs - 2x 6,25 kg
2x AMG CC front calipers - 2x 6,9 kg
2x AMG CC rear calipers - 2x 3 kg

AMG CC Total: 106.2 lbs

Weight Savings: ~27%

 

40 lbs.thanks.

 

So if one were to option the CCB's Then the increase in weight (lol, here we go again) from 4 matic would only be.about 100 lbs???

 

Damn just plain sick love this modification the calipers and discs look incredible! well done

That's my next mod. on my ml63 can't wait

 

i wanted to know how much this cost you??? and can this be done with the oem c calipers??? i really like the 2 piece rotors. that is mt fav part of the whole install. please get back to me on this thanks

 

The price is around USD 15'000

 

You cannot do this with the stock C calipers. The CC rotors are larger.

This price is a good estimate not including labor. You will also need the spacers and longer bolts for the front calipers to fit properly. Let me know if you need any help.

 

Check this out about CCBs

Thanks for the link amazing!!






G55, a little OT but:

I wanted to install the Mb/brembo ceramic kit but it won't work for my ml63 due to the weightof my amg...
Therefore i am also going with the Movit ceramic 396x40 and 6 pistons

- How much if i May ask?
- on what car are you installing the Movit cf brakes?

 

Hello new on here, just wondering if the hats on the rear cc rotors could be swapped with OEM size hats to avoid changing axles etc, I see this question has been asked before but no answer to it or is that for obvious reasons?

 

The rear hats and design are totally different so they cannot be exchanged. The rear exchange is not that difficult. However, remember changing to the CC brakes will require all new wheels as the offset changes front and rear.

 

Ah right I see so the setup here is the best/only option really, would spacers correct the offset or would it have to be new wheels? I presume BS wheels used here would be suffice?

 

Spacers won't work because the axles are longer/further out which requires more offset so its the oppostire problem from spacers.

 

Right gotcha now thanks for the info

 

Wow, I love those brakes! Guess its time to call the dealership to get pricing.

 

can you tell me how much you pay for this?

 

The price has been listed a couple of times earlier in the thread but all the parts not including labor or new wheels etc... is about $15,000.

 

Just to make clear, that it is not impossible.

 

More info - will stock wheels fit, which CCB setup did you use, did you need to fabricate mounts, etc.?

Thanks

 

Stock wheels will surely fit.

There is a lot work necessary to make this work, not only the new fabricated mounts.

This is not a simple DIY conversion.

You have to fabricate different mechanical parts like e.g. caliper carriers (mounts) or middle plates of rotors.

Those MLs were modified in Moscow/Russia.

 

very interesting, Dads C63 may i know the front caliper & rotor part number? i think i will try front since it is relatively easy (caliper mount) any other parts shall i need to order from MB for front retrofit?

thx

 

The parts list was mentioned in this thead before.

Are you going to retrofit only the front brakes???

I think this is not a good idea.... visually and mechanically!
