Brand new of your C63 rear caliper sold for $1200:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Genuine-Mercedes-AMG-Brembo-4-pot-rear-brake-calipers-C-63-AMG-W204-/291382558525?hash=item43d7c0ff3d&vxp=mtr
So you can probably sell your used rear C63 calipers on eBay for $600-800 a pair.

Great!
But I'm a little confused now. Will the OEM 18" rims clear the new rear brakes with this kit, or not?

Wow, lots of traffic all of a sudden...
The rear setup is only 360mm. That is compatible with 18 inch. Only the front is not.
Mr747 - why fit brakes at all for drag racing? Isn't that what parachutes are for? The ultimate weight saving!!!!

Thanks to all! Had to put an order down as this represents a tremendous upgrade at an even better price. All the longevity and performance reviews I've come across have only praise for RB rotors and pads. Can't wait to to put these to the test

Almost done with the install. A quick summary:
The front is very straight forward, nothing special.
there are several observations in the rear though:
1. I had a hard time getting the left rear rotor off the emergency brake shoes. Brute force and wiggling back and forth eventually did it. Fortunately the clearance of the new hat was generous and it slipped on easily. The right rotor went off without fuss.
2. You have to undo the connecting rod to the sway bar in the back to get to the bolts that attach the caliper to the spindle (see picture).
The attachment point for the brake hose on the BS caliper is at a different angle than the stock caliper. As a result, the rear brake hoses are a tad too short and need to be replaced in the long run with one that is about 30 mm longer (also see pictures). Good for now, but there is a bit of tension on the hose. Clearance to the wheel is generous, no problem there.
3. Brake hoses go on very quickly.
Next is lunch break and after that I'll do the bleeding and test drive.....
