Brake Pad / Rotor Help
Looking at ordering front/rear pads/rotors for my '16 C63S from FCP. Think I have all the correct parts gathered, but unsure about the front pads.
Had the brembo kit pulled up for the fronts (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mbo-0004206600) and see that it includes this pad set: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-0004206600.
However I also saw this pad set which specifically says "for cars with red painted calipers" which is what I have: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...mer-0004206600
Do we think the pads included with the brembo kit aren't for red calipers? Or either of these would work? Called FCP and they said they weren't sure and would have to get back to me. Assuming they both fit, anyone have any idea if one set is better than the other?
