C63S Replacement Rotors
Well, it's time for pads and I'm sure the rotors won't be too far behind.
For those of you who have NOT checked, the MB OEM C63S (Specifically the S Model WITH OUT CCB) Front Floated rotors are around $1000 EACH. Where the C63 rotors from MB are $193 each. To my understanding the only difference is Solid vs Floated and they're the same dimensions. Has anyone looked into aftermarket replacements? If so, what options have you seen? So far I've found Brembo options at around $700 a set (pair) and I'm considering Non-S solid MB OEM rotors as a more aggressive pad will eat them up anyway. |
S-Model front rotors are 15.4 and Non-S models are 14.2. At least that what is says on MBUSA.com.

Since we are shooting the **** this morning, if I had a C63 S model and wanted an inexpensive rotor replacement I'd probably slap black series brakes on it

Except that these rotors don't fit our cars!!
|
I am hinting that they will fit perfectly.

So at least that means that there are reasonably priced alternatives from an OEM perspective, just trying to find a suitable replacement in a similar size for the S model is proving to be a big difficult at the moment. |

That is a 390mm rotor. I currently sell full replacements. That rotor is an inexpensive alternative to the factory S rotor.

Gotcha - So replacement rings are not an option for those? Would make the $1000+ pair of rotors a very reasonable option if that were the case.
|
Hm, maybe that is a good reason for me to get a C63 and not a C63s.
Is that the only options? $1k each OEM or $500 each? |

$1K each for Genuine, or $500 each for the two piece Brembo's. However I offer lifetime replacement on brakes so if it were my money and brakes were the deciding factor I would probably get the S.

All due respect; what's the fine print in this warranty? Rotors are a consumable part, this warranty would logically only cover defects. Proving a defect in a rotor can be pretty difficult for this fact.
I respect you standing behind your product but I wouldn't suspect many if any would really ever take advantage of that warranty. |

:eek: My father taught me if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. I couldn't imagine returning brake pads or rotors (or both) once they've begun to wear out and aside from shipping, get replacements. Specifically on something like the W205 C63 that EATS brakes like it goes through fuel. You definitely have my attention. P.S. If these get sent back, Brembo must hate you guys. lol |

Took a walk to the returns area this morning looks like a light returns day, some control arms, some engine oil and other incidentals. Disregard the smug look on Ralph's face.

I'd buy the 390mm Brembo 2-piece rotors, even at the price (still cheaper for the 390mm). Good find though.

I like the Brembo option too! After what my dealer is billing me I am thinking seriously on do the brakes by myself, it does not look like a difficult task.
I've always done my own brakes, it's very simple - Remove wheel, remove 2 bolts holding on caliper. You're done, caliper comes off and that's what's holding the Rotor in place on most vehicles. I used to do all four corners on my Z06 in 45 minutes from start to finish. |
