time to change front brakes

Hi, Its time to change the front discs and pads on my PP C63.

Should I go OEM or go for something like the Racing Brake 2 Piece kit?

My rear pads will also need changing. Discs are still o.k.

Any advice?

thanks.

Racing Brake has a very good option, but also check out FCP Euro. I believe they had competitive pricing as well.

Also, please check out this thread. It would be very helpful to us all!

I've heard nothing but amazing things about the Endless MX pads from a good track junky buddy of mine.

These guys have 'em: http://speedfreaksusa.com/

I just had a set of P30's come in a few minutes ago. If you have true two piece rotors I sell them for $515.99 each , located at this link:

If you want to save $900+ the regular one piece C63 rotors are direct fit as well (they are $150 each). These are the rotors that came on all C63s without the PP packages (so probably a good 80% of them). They are heavier, but realistically you won't notice a difference in every day driving.

If you don't mind spending the extra, are tracking the car, or it is important to you to replace what was originally on the car with the same, I'd say it's a wash between Racing Brake and OEM. The Racing Brakes ones do have replaceable hats if you think you'll keep the car long enough for another rotor change.
