BD-C63

I put this write-up together when I did my rear brakes last on my '15 C63S. Maybe it'll help someone out!

I see the combo kit but it doesnt come with the rear brreae pads. The link to the rear brake pads sends you to a blank page. Can you help me find the rear brake pad replacements needed for the C63S?

RacingBrake

Sorry we don't make the pads for floating calipers (like this rear caliper with e-parking brake), however since it's a very popular application so we are making the rear pad available. For now we recommend you continue using the used OE pads until our rear pads are available when we will contact customers who purchased our rear rotors at discounted price.

Getting my car serviced currently and the dealer called me saying my brakes are getting close. About 6mm in the front and 5mm in the rear. I was quoted $2k for rear replacement and $3k for front replacement. I'm assuming that also covers the rotor since there's no way pad replacement should cost $5. I'm definitely going to be shopping around.

From experience, a lot of dealers will replace the rotors with every brake job, no matter how much life is left in the rotor. There are a few dealers around that won't follow this policy, but they seem to be the exception to the rule nowadays.

As for the price quotes, the $3K for the fronts doesn't sounds all that unrealistic, but the $2K for the rears is highway robbery.

Doing a quick search for parts, The front rotors are $2,360 for both rotors ($1,180/piece), and a set of 4 pads is $430, bringing the total parts cost for the fronts to $2,790. The rear rotors are $334 for both rotors ($167/piece), and a set of 4 pads is $376. Should be $710 in parts. Go to https://www.mbonlineparts.com/auto-p...nt-brakes-scat and https://www.mbonlineparts.com/auto-p...ar-brakes-scat to look at the prices yourself. The rear brakes are identical across all C63 trim levels, even those with the CCB brakes.

call Racing Brake for rotors and get them put on with new pads by independent or mb dealer if you don’t mind paying their labor costs. They have a better rotor than mb factory. Lighter weight. they have slotted rotors with holes drilled in the slots vs lots of holes all the way around rotor which takes away from the contact area for the brake pad. I am a track guy so that is important to me as well. If you want good stopping power for street or light track , put Stoptech sport pads on front and factory on rear. Stoptech 600 high temp fluid.

Hey guys will this brembo 2 piece fit the non S silver caliper c63?

FCPEuro

Yes, the 2 piece from the 08-10 204 P30 or the 07-11 E63 211/212 will fit a non S C63

Are this disk`s fully compatible with 2017 W205 C63S as a direct replacement ? Do you ship to EU ?

Hey Guys,

Just a heads up for users trying to navigate what do to. I've got a '16 C63S that I drive all year and track 2-4/times/yr. I run it at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park 'Mosport' (high speed -> up to 230km/hr but lots of running 145-170km/hr then braking) and Toronto Motor Sports Park (top speed 190km/hr, mostly lower speed corners 70-100 km/hr but fun!) Assuming your just driving and using your C63S day to day with perhaps 1-2 track days/yr, my advice for a W205 C63S would be:

Change Pads, not rotors for both front and back when you get a wear indication or noted that the pads are low during service. You'd have to make the call based on the rotor lip but realistically, I don't see it being necessary.

I replaced my front pads with the following: https://germanparts.ca/parts/B36026M
Here's the part for rear: https://germanparts.ca/parts/B13036M

At $215/CAD & $228/CAD plus the wear sensors. Great deal. The pads that showed were from an SL65, so same front calliper as a C63S. They were ceramic pads and have turned out excellent.

I'm running the original front rotors with those new pads but OEM replacement rear rotors and pads. They kinda got me on the rotor replacement, car was there, wear indictor was on and it wasn't an unreasonable repair. When they quoted almost $4k CAD to do the front pads/rotors, that's when I pumped the brakes and went hunting.

I've tracked the car multiple times/yr, drive it in summer and winter and it currently has almost 90000k on it, so I'm speaking from some pretty good real world experience.

I will have to address the front rotors and pads shortly as a full swap and I think the racing brake option is a great one. Appreciate the advice on those here. Going with the Brembo straight up would be marginally cheaper it seems.

Is that the price for both? I could not really tell on the website.

Thanks

Yes, a set of pads in the box. Just need to add wear sensors.

This question has been asked before but typically what mileage are you guys having to repalce rotors and pads? I'm just about to hit 15K miles and on original pads and rotors... Pads about half life left, and rotors still going strong. Just street driving no tracking.

user33

I'm guessing that there is no "typical" as it depends upon multiple factors:
- you're normal driving habits
- whether you use cruise-control a lot, especially with lots of downhill
(apparently MBZ uses the back brakes, only, to slow when on cruise control)
- whether your driving often invokes traction/stability control (uses braking)
- whether you track the car, what track(s) you run and your braking style

Prior to tracking the C63 S, the front brakes had about 2 MM wear in about 13K km (about 8K miles). I just completed a track day at Mission Raceways, a track that's notoriously hard on brakes and tires and, even with careful trail-braking, I wiped about 5 MM off my front brakes in 58 aggressive laps. My previous less agressive day at the same track wiped about 3 MM off my front brakes in 63 laps. Yes, I'm now replacing my (essentially non-existent) front pads. Rotors appear good for 1 more set of pads, at least. $;-)

Found these rear OEM replacements on E-bay-
Says genuine OEM replacement: $274.22 - looks like for the pair

https://www.ebay.com/itm/352090761454

user33

Personally, I wouldn't trust E-bay sellers for any critical part and especially not brakes ... or would that be breaks? #;-)

Given that FCP Euro's prices are not that much more than the E-bay price and given their warranty (which others have stated is real), I buy from them:

What are these brake pads like for brake dust?
Do you guys ship to Australia?
