Overall the bigger brakes dramatically improve the look of the c63.
I did not get to drive the car much after installing the brakes so I am not able to honestly provide an opinion on the brakes yet but I will be posting my review of this kit after I break the brakes in.
Went with the Racingbrake 2 piece rotor upgrade kit 360mm 2 years ago. Top kit! Well worth it. nearly 40lb unsprung weight savings!
Only issue I had were the XT910 pads were a tad too hard and not quite suited for day to day driving. More for track. Mine was glazed under 800miles usage.
Otherwise, the rotor still looked barely used even after 15K miles.
Unfortunately due to COVID 19 I was not able to test these brakes at the track; however, I have decided to test them out street/canyon driving using XT910 pads. I am running stainless steel lines in the front with OEM DOT 4 fluid.
So I took the car to the canyons after bedding the brakes in. Drove approximately 60 miles. 30 miles up the canyon and 30 miles down the canyon.
The difference between the stock rotors and the RacingBrake rotors are night and day.
I know most that purchased these for track but I honestly got a lot out of them just on street usage alone.
The brake setup now has WAY more bite than before. They stop on a dime! Under hard braking (100 to 40 MHP) the car does not lose ANY control whatsoever. the brake bias is also set perfect. I can easily RACE the canyon windy roads faster than I was able to before.
I can also confirm these RB brakes dissipate heat better than the stock brakes. I am happy with my purchase. I do feel the brake kit is priced competitively for what is offered. You sure do get a lot more for what you pay for with RacingBrake.
A buddy who runs RacingBrake on his C63 told me about the bigger brake kit upgrade for our regular C63. I just wanted to offer my honest opinion. I hope that is okay.

Not sure what you mean. I was just pointing you to a thread with a bunch of info in it that my interest you.

We all appreciate your candid review and opinion.
The original kit created by RB is still the best. Idea can be copied by others but they will never be the same in daily performance gain & driving comfort, the outstanding design of center mount design, the rear true light weight two piece rotors retaining OE drum emergency brake, and overall lasting durability.
i don't see why it's a hijacking, competition is healthy and good. You should help to bring all discussions relating to the same upgrade to this thread, comparing feature to feature and put everything under the sun so members can see themselves. Or post a link where your discussion is.

Any reason why you won't sell the front bracket separate?
