Brake swap for none S

Did the search but strangely enough nothing came up, so excuse me if this has been asked and if it has just hit me with a linky please... a lot of threads on rotor upgrades and what not but no swaps.

I'm kicking around the idea to upgrade my brakes on my 2019 C63 W205 to the S version to get the bigger rotors and better front calipers. My question is simple will the S version calipers just bolt right on or would I need an adapter? I assume the rotors are a simple swap since the hubs and bolt pattern are the same on both models.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You'd probably need new caliper brackets or spacers for the front calipers. The rear brakes are the same on the S as they are on the non-S with the exception of the color of the calipers.

2019 C63S Coupe
In November, I had my front brake pads and rotors replaced for my 2019 C63S coupe at a MB Dealership.
Below are 2 photos of the Dealership part numbers for front brake pads, rotors and other parts used for a 2019 C63s coupe.
This month I had my rear brake pads and rotors replaced. If you like the part numbers let me know.
MB Parts will let you know for sure if front rotors are the same number for the C63 vs C63s. I believe they are different but not sure.

Dude … 2019 and you already has all 4 rotors replaced? What your mileage? Mine 2017 w’33k miles and only need rear pad replaced so far.

[QUOTE=Klinh;8535413]Dude … 2019 and you already has all 4 rotors replaced? What your mileage? Mine 2017 w’33k miles and only need rear

Front : 16,548 miles and Rear: 17,993. Both times the Check Brake Pads came on. I had an experienced indy stated the rotors were liped as did MB tech. SA stated Stop snd Go traffic will contribute to pads wearing earlier. So it's no big deal for me, I love the car (3 years now)and like to keep everything in perfect order. I had the oil changed every 5,000 miles.
I would have changed the rotors anyway as many have sugggested once the pads need replacements get the rotors replaced. Regardless!
If you need any Mercedes brake part number for rear brake components let me know as I just had it done at Dealership.
Car runs and looks like new.

That’s not true. You don’t just replaced the rotor when you replaced the pads. My car were just in the dealer for services w’33k and the dealer only recommended front pads replaced, not the rotors.

you must not be driving it like an amg then. 2017 with similar mileage as yours and gone through one set of rotors and two sets of pads

agreed that there is absolutely no need to swap rotors with pads each time. Shops only use this to rip people off
