For the fronts, any issues pairing the brembo 2pc rotors with mercedes genuine pads?
From FCPeuro site:
Question Posted by a customer
Want to make sure these will work on 2013 C63 w/P30 code, red brake calipers. What pads go well with these?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, that is correct, most are pairing these with the performance genuine pad set part number 0004205004 listed below.
you shouldnt have any issues pairing the 2 piece rotors with stock pads. however, there are likely better pad options for less money if all you are interested in is stock braking performance.
the tools needed for this job are very minimal and if you can drive this car, you can probably swap out your pads and rotors in a few hours. any aversion to getting some brake dust on your hands and saving some $$$?

I recently upgraded to the Black series rotors for the fronts on my car and they are so beautiful.
I believe they were cheaper as well... Also ordered from FCP
Just needed to get the brackett from over seas

Sorry, I don't get on here often- for anyone reading this- YES
To move to the larger rotor, you need to move the caliper out from the hub farther; therefore, a bracket is needed. I would highly recommend a bracket like the one I recommended - doesnt have to be that brand
Reason: many make a 2 piece metal bushing- but that allows felxure between the top and bottom of the caliper vs a one-piece bracket.
Oh my apologies. I misunderstood you. Yes 360 mm is the correct size.
As to pads, Hawks are like $260 and OEM is $320. That's not a large difference. I personally run OEM but I can understand why others would not. I also buy all my stuff from FCP Euro (and is where I referenced these prices).
I ordered parts from Parts Geek. Brembo two piece for front and one piece for rear, and brake pads with hardware kit.
fronts were $400 and rear $115 for the rotors.
fairly easy and straight forward. T55 for the caliper bolts. My trick, remove bolt, insert wood dowel and repeat for second bolt. Easy to slide out caliper and rest on the dowels.
I didn’t do the rear, the bolts, 18mm, are blocked by the tie rod for the sway bar. I need a flexible ratchet wrench or offset wrench. Question for the group, do you unbolt the tie rod at bottom and use standard wrenches for better access?

On my E63 m156 I did the following
-upgraded my rotors to the 390mm (with bracket)
-2 piece floating girodisc rotos front and back
-DS2500 pads on the front
-Mercedes OEM pads rear
-stainless steel lines
-castrol SFR brake fluid
my car now stops INSANELY. initial bite is perfect. Zero fade. Perfect modulation at any speeds. I would rate this at double the stock stopping power. Slight squeak sometimes but worth every bit of it. For brake dust control I just ceramic coated my wheels so literally now all I have to do is hose the wheel off and we golden.
the rotors have free’d up the car where I have more responsiveness and I can feel the difference noticeably. With my wavetrac installed as well- putting power down to both wheels perfectly- I can literally pop sideways anytime I want with complete control and have the stopping power necessary.
