Hey guys,

Does anyone know if any aftermarket brake pads for W205 C63s AMG are available?
So far i have not been able to find any for this model.

Thanks

Have you checked the Autohaus web site??

I had their street pad and am now going to get their track pad.

How do you compare those to the standard brakes? Less dust?

I'm looking for less dusty rear pads to pair up with the CCBs up front. I used to use Hawk HPS and those were definitely less dusty than regular OEM pads, but I don't see the fitment available yet from Hawk.

In my personal experience less dusty pads eats more disc, keep that in mind.

Brakes...

Finding brakes for this vehicle is absolutely painful.

I have the Carbon Ceramic Brake package, my brakes are oxidizing already and the vehicle only has 7,000kms on it. Only one track day... I have been searching for aftermarket brake rotors and brake pads.

So far the only place that makes brake pads for the carbon ceramics up front are Pagid, I believe it is the RSC 1. Even when you search for them, they are tough to find. They are $950USD

If you are looking for rotors, there is no one out there that I can find that have rotors for our vehicles. I have a couple companies that I'm trying to work with to make iron rotors to replace the CCB's for track days. Also found a couple companies in the UK that actually refurbish your carbon rotors for about 1000 Euros each. www.sicom-europe.com

There is another company in Europe that is supposed to make the hats to attach to the rotors... Then you can use AP Racing rotors. One issue that we have with the carbon ceramic rotors is that the depth and therefore the pad size, is pretty wide and doesn't fit most standard rings.

I also have an email into Carbotech and Performance Friction to see if they have anything up and coming for our cars.

I will keep you all posted. Hopefully one of us finds something... It's amazing how much stuff I can find for an F80X, not much for aftermarket on our vehicles!

about the same

pads are $500 in CCB to replace. i have the part number on a diff thread and need to be special ordered from Germany. Also CCB's are not the same thickness as standard iron pads. they are about 1/2 as thick so don't let the service tech tell you are 50% gone. have them measure and compare with the AMG Spec thickness.

Confirmed Pagid does make pad replacements for CCB.
Pagid has RS29 pads that are very high performance but they're noisy / squeaky as a race pad.

Posted under the carbon ceramic brake thread as well.

Carbotech makes pads for our cars. They have the XP8, XP10 and XP12's. Check them out. They have been great to deal with. Super responsive, even asked what tire I was running to recommend the best brake pad!

Will most likely be running the XP10's.

The front pads are the same as the W204 C63

So i flushed the brakes fluid today on all 4 corners and the problems mantains... Its still there..

Could the compound be different? In another post I detail how I destroyed the stock pads in nothing flat during a track event and MB told me the car was too new for them to have any replacement pads and had to pull them off the assembly line for me. That took several weeks and in the meantime, I used a set from Porterfield. I would find it odd that MB would tell me there are no parts available if they are in fact the same as the W204. I mean no disrespect with my question, rather just stating my experience.

Thanks.

I have a set of aftermarket track pads I used on my W204 on only one track event and are still in great shape.

I installed them on my W205 last season for an event and they were a perfect fit as they are using the exact same caliper. The front pads I used are Endless EIP162MX72.

Rear pads are of course different and dont fit the W205

I swap back to the OEM pads for Street use.

It may be that the W204 and W205 OEM pads may be using a different compound hence may have different part numbers but I can assure you that the physical size of the pads are the same.

i just received a set of Carbon Kevlar Porterfield R4-S pads and am putting them on tonight. They are said to have amazing stopping power and easy on rotors. Plus a lot less brake dust. Ran me $450 shipped. I'll post back here once I put a few miles on them.

Pls. update. Thanks

whitehotC63S

Initial feel while driving is almost exactly like stock. After a few miles and getting them warmed up and worn in, initial bite is far better than stock and stopping power is far superior. Also I haven't heard one sound from the brakes, before it was awful.

Ill report back on brake dust since I've only been driving on them for a day, but so far it's looking good. Usually after driving for a night I'll need to wipe off my rims because of brake dust. With the R4-S I haven't noticed any yet.

You have iron rotors --right?
