Hi all,

First post as I have only just acquired my first C63 amg coupe (2012 plate - 125edition).

The rear pads could use replacing in the next couple of months and just looking for advice on brands to target/avoid, pitfalls to look out for?

To add some context, I'll rarely be getting out to a track and so use the car for day to day social driving and (short range) business commuting.

Any advice much appreciated

Sam

If you get the Chinese ones, don't share your experience here or people will be mean towards you!! Safe driving.

I agree with the above. I faced the same dilemma while making the purchase also and am doing my brake change tomorrow. I opted for the brembo pads for my ml63 and have heard good things about them . From experience on other cars stay away from pads made for the track and stick to something reputable or to be safe genuine.

Break or brake? 🤔

OEM rear pads aren't very expensive. I happen to side with not using cheap stuff on brake components.

They are 205 each plus shipping on parts.com so about 430 for ok rear pads

Send me a private message I can help

Really just any brake pad will do for you. Stoptech would be one option. A step up would be Porterfield.

Porterfield is good. Not bargain basement cheap, but they have a proven and well-established reputation for quality parts.
