With 6-piston calipers up front, single-piston sliding calipers are more than adequate in the rear. |

yeah, i agree...those rear calipers looks pretty sorry. doesnt match the front calipers..also dislike why they badged the car AMG C63?...i still don't get why they went with that tactic, they've always badged the car with the body then numbers of the engine displacement, THEN the AMG. they should've left it as C63 AMG rather than AMG C63...it looks kinda dumb in my opinion...:nix::word:
The branding is now Mercedes-AMG C63. Hence why the AMG first probably. |
Just because there using them on there other cars doesn't mean they look proportional. One of the cool things about AMG's was the huge brakes and with that small rear set up I don't care how big the fronts are it looks like they skimped.

Nothing wrong with a properly sized single piston sliding caliper
Even less so on the rear axle It is purely cosmetic on a street car |

From a functional perspective, however, those single-piston sliding calipers in the rear will hold up just fine. When it comes to braking, the hardware up front is what matters and AMG went with massive 6-piston Brembo calipers again.

So is the night package, the rear spoiler, carbon fiber package, etc.
I agree with the others that those brakes don't look good on a "performance car." I took my spoiler off, looked cheesey Function> form The brakes offer the same performance on a 'performance car' It should not be on a 'performance car' unless it enhances performance Adding bling for no performance benefit is poser and pointless A guilded pig is still a pig Like a chrome plated pistol with pearl grips lol |

Many of the people on this forum take pride in the appearance of their AMG vehicle... A few guys here have voiced their opinion about the appearance of the rear brake... Its really that simple. No need to call everyone a poser. You should strip your car of anything that does not offer any performance enhancement so that you can stop looking in the mirror and calling yourself a poser. :rolleyes: |
I honestly think its because they want to focus on their new optional ceramic brake upgrade. Nice upgrade more $'s and bigger brakes all round!

You don't make sense
Could mean 2 things I am not lucid You are not comprehending I vote the latter Yes, glam for glams sake is posing As in vogue strike a pose Especially when whining about a functional item like brakes not being glam enough even though they work great https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...d3d19ca4a2.jpg

Ok, Sorry I didn't realize you were a troll until now.
You are now on my ignore list... Please add me to yours. Dood If you want to glitter and bedazzle your car go for it But don't judge BRAKES on a cosmetic basis Base it on how they function http://ipecglobal.com/imimg/gun-001_1a.jpg |
The rear brakes definitely look weak. But how it looks doesn't mean it actually is. Also noticed all new AMGs have fake exhaust tips. I hope it doesn't become a permanent cost cutting tactic..

will never get over how stupid the nav screen looks.

The rear callipers are functional and not weak, but certainly not eye candy.

Love it or hate it

This type of exhaust tips are now becoming more and more common and are used on most brands of the most expensive cars, so it's not necessarily a cost cutting thing. I for one think they're a step forward because of some advantages they offer compared to standard set up tips and also well designed units look good :) With these tips integrated into the rear diffusor the finish and alignment is perfect compared to standard tips which can sometimes be crooked or not in the same position as each other which looks off, also you don't have to worry about standard tips expanding when heated up and then sticking out too far with a sometimes distorted alignment and looking off until they cool down again and you don't have to worry as much about carbon and heat associated discolouration of the tip because they are disjointed from the exhaust pipe. |
